Are you saying that the $40,000 was only .2 of 1% of the NSFnet budget
for that year and that therefore it is of no real consequence?

MITRE does intelligence and defense related work for the US gov't, but it
is a private corporation that would normally be responsible for its own
network infrastructure..... or so I'd think.

For example would SRI be entitled to the installation of the same equipment?
