Alt Text

A cartoon man representing the United States Senate sits at a desk writing a comically-oversized check from the U.S. Treasury to the U.S. Airforce for $700,000,000, signed by Uncle Sam. The Senate is looking upward at another man dressed in military garb holding up an airplane next to a sign declaring, "Sensational display of new air might over Moscow."
