B-2 Bomber: Status of Compliance With the 1992 and 1993 Defense Authorization Act

Abstract

The fiscal year 1992 and 1993 Defense Authorization Act authorized $2.8 billion for procurement of B-2 bombers, of which $1 billion was specifically earmarked for procurement of one new B-2 aircraft that has been conditionally authorized for fiscal year 1992. The new aircraft is the 16th of 20 operational B-2s DOD intends to acquire. The 20 aircraft include5 of 6 development aircraft to be reworked, refurbished, and delivered for Air Force operations, and 15 production aircraft. Subsequently, after the Congress had appropriated $2.8 billion for B-2 procurement, the Congress rescinded $500 million of the fiscal year 1992 B-2 procurement funds.
