U.S. Congress
Washington, DC 20515

Honorable Terry Everett
Ranking Member
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces
Committee on Armed Services
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Congressman:
At your request, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed whether a
difference exists between the Department of Defense's (DoD's) funding for science and
technology (S&T) activities supporting unclassified space programs and its funding for S&T
activities supporting other (nonspace) programs. The enclosed report indicates that funding for
S&T activities supporting unclassified space programs has been less than S&T funding for other
defense programs and that DoD's plans for the future maintain that difference in funding.
(Because of a lack of information, CBO's analysis does not address the extent to which classified
research might be supporting unclassified space programs.)
If you would like further details, we would be pleased to provide them. CBO's analysis
was performed by Matthew Goldberg and Paul Rehmus, who can be reached at 202-226-2900.
Sincerely,
Peter R. Orszag
Enclosure

Chairman
