-Take around $700m of that R&D and hand it to Israel, for their "Iron Dome"
Apparently it is a July 2017 article.
I think disregard this article. Response to me from Cboldt
— I still haven’t found any language in the bill that supports it. —
Considering the article you posted, there are at least two bills involved. HR 1625, the omnibus appropriations bill signed into law yesterday, and HR 2810: National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2018.
Assuming your article is correct, and I have no reason to doubt this part of it, the proposed language forbidding DoD to build a border wall is missing from HR 2810. I agree. The language cited in the article is not in the National Defense Authorization Act.
