The largest single line item in the section is $4,500,000,000, which may be used only to expand B-21 long-range bomber production capacity and to buy aircraft that the expanded capacity makes available.

That sentence, in plain words

The sum is $4.5 billion. It may only build up the plant that makes one bomber. It may also buy planes that the bigger plant turns out.

What this is about

The word only ties the money to that use. It cannot go to other bomber work. It is the largest sum in the section.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
