All money is in thousands of US dollars: 100000 means $100 million. The R-2 and P-40 fields (funding through contract_methods) are null on OP-5, DD-1391, and Drug Interdiction narratives, and the DD-1391 fields (installation through project_cost_thousands) are null on every other exhibit. narrative is not a default field; request it with narrative_page to page through long narratives. Sections in narrative and narrative_sections are labeled by their role, such as Mission Description or Justification, numbered when the role repeats; each section's text can start with the program or project title the book printed.
