__Purpose__ The purpose of our bill is to try to promote research for the Missle Defense Agency(MDA). The purpose for the research is to try and create better defenses than we already have in order to protect ourselves against terrorists who want to harm us. Also it is to raise money for the MDA to do research on that topic.

__Eligibility__ The new tax is going to apply to the MDA. This is because they are the ones getting the money for the research. This also affects the people of the United States. This is because they are the ones who are paying the tax to fund the research for the MDA.

__Terms and benifits__

First the government puts a small tax on the people of the United States. then they pay that tax. After the government collects that small tax, they put it into the federal budget. The money is taken out of the federal budget and given to the MDA. After the MDA recieves the money from the government, they use it to build research centers around the country. Which is used for research on missle defense. In the future, this bill will help the United States by helping us better understand how to defend ourselves better against terrorists.

Research centers- $2,000,000 for each research center. These are the main area's for research in the United States.
