No, they are not. Programs are protected only because there are so many of them that Congressional oversight is overwhelmed. Some members of Congress, on some committees, can see anything they want. The hearings are kept secret, but the Representatives have full access. I am sure they would have access to the purchase order for a cold fusion reactor, since nothing about cold fusion is classified. It does not exist, according to the government. Furthermore, Washington is as a leaky as a sieve. If anyone, anywhere in the government bought a 1 MW cold fusion reactor, I am sure the news of it would reach Robert Park and the mass media in a few days. They would raise hell. This would be a tremendous scandal, on the scale of the Solandra bankruptcy. The administration knows that. They would NEVER approve such a thing. If someone did it secretly, that person would be fired, and hauled before a Congressional Investigation. - Jed
