...addition, the Stealth is said to use special materials to insulate hot parts of the engine and thus shield them from infrared or heat-seeking devices. According to the Armed Forces Journal, the exhaust nozzles are bent at odd angles, dispersing the fumes in a pattern that confuses heat sensors, such as those aboard Soviet ground-or air-launched missiles. Stealth employs electronic countermeasures-secret, computerized devices that send out confusing radar signals...

That technically changed the bill enough to render inoperative some 75 other amendments Hatfield had introduced in an effort to delay passage...
