Notes
A defense budget program is one budget line across every President's Budget book that carried it: an RDT&E program element (PE), a procurement line item (BLI), an O&M or revolving-fund sub-activity group (SAG), a military personnel budget sub-activity (BSA), or a military construction project (CP). Its code is the program element or project number, or a composite such as {account}-{budget sub-activity}-{line item} for procurement.
All money is in thousands of US dollars: 100000 means $100 million. funding_trend holds one row per book (publication_fiscal_year), data year (fiscal_year), and disposition kind, such as Actuals, Enacted, Request, or Total. Never add rows of different kinds together: a year's Total already includes its other kinds. request_by_cycle is each book's own budget-year request. Programs link to the Major defense program data type they fund and to the defense budget justifications that explain them. govtribe_url is null because these records have no GovTribe page yet. See Defense budget data for how books, fiscal years, and funding kinds fit together.
