The correct answer is: "a program to develop a new defensive missile"
The chart displays the organic classification of the US public expenses, the different areas to which federal bugdet will be directed in 2009. While the other areas, such as NASA, Department of State or Department of Homeland Security do not exceed 100 billions of dollars, the endowment for the Deparment of Defense almost reaches 700 billions dollars.
As the greatest proportion of the federal burget has been destined to defense, programs for development of defensive missile will very likely receive federal funding.
