Its seems to be a bit more complicated than that.
The extra DC10s and MD80s, according to press at the time, were Federally funded. There were numerous reports when the firestorm broke out that the Feds had taken $11,000,000 out of the budget for LFA aircraft this year. Last Saturdays SMH article discusses when the Federal funding can be used for LFA aircraft.
As usual in this country the whole thing seems a mess but certainly there is joint funding of LFA activities.
