Honest question, where does it say the program has been cancelled? Rather, it looks like it's been fully expended

See update - looks like it did top out in the end, following a major budget cut. So, effectively canceled.

First two are paywalls, last one is not. But it’s canceled, with only about 15% spent overall. Definitely not expended.

I suspect this is more about budget problems than an acknowledgement that the program wasn’t working, though.
