This would include any funds spent on classified programs, covert operations, or other activities that are not publicly accounted for.
The bill also includes provisions for increased oversight and accountability, including the establishment of a new oversight committee to monitor and review government spending. This committee would be responsible for ensuring that all federal agencies are in compliance with the new disclosure requirements and would have the authority to investigate any instances of non-compliance.

By increasing oversight and accountability, the bill seeks to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent responsibly and in the best interest of the American people.
