Role in Funding AATIP
As a highly respected and influential senator, and a decorated World War II veteran who had lost an arm in combat, Inouye was a key member of the bipartisan trio that controlled congressional spending for "black budget" programs within the Pentagon. His support was crucial in securing the $22 million appropriation that established AAWSAP in 2007.
