      "summary": "This report lists and compares military expenditures of the United States and foreign nations\nusing\ntwo sources: the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies' (IISS)  The Military\nBalance,  and the U.S. State Department's  World Military Expenditures and Arms\nTransfers\n (WMEAT). \n  Although the IISS and the U.S. State Department aim to provide figures that are as consistent\nand accurate as possible, cross-national comparisons of defense spending are inherently imperfect. \nAvailable sets of figures are useful, but often do not correspond with one another for a variety of\nreasons. This report provides two sets of figures from widely recognized sources in order to offer\nCongress a sample of the data published on this topic. This report will be updated as necessary.",
