WASHINGTON -- The House Appropriations Committee is angry that the Pentagon spent money on a black program that they believed was closed down. The Air Force indicated that they were under the impression the program had not been completely cancelled and it was a matter of misinterpretation. It is legal to switch funds between programs provided Congress is notified of the switch. The Air Force was also accused of taking money out of research funds to help finance a new $800 million 'Milstar' military communications satellite. A Milstar satellite was lost in space earlier this spring. The report accused the Pentagon and missile-defense officials of illegally financing a system known as the Medium Altitude Air Defense program. So far the system has cost a $100 million and has been a failure. The Pentagon apparently diverted funds to keep the program alive. The 'Star Wars' missile defense program could be useful in defending against UFOs.

Editor's Note: The military is getting only a small share of the funds it needs to replace old equipment.
