Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Energy discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Energy's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the defense-related safeguards and security program at Idaho National Laboratory, protecting special nuclear material and enhancing cybersecurity to deter, respond to, and neutralize threats.
Extracted from Energy Programs, p. 17. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
