NASA must cooperate with the Department of Defense in the United States..
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, Section
305à (i):
"The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall be considered
a Defense Agency of the United States for the purpose of Chapter 17,
Title 35 of the United States code"

I do not want any discussion about the slides there. I regard em as the
result of a bad adjusted copy device.

But this law statement surprised me. Is it still actual? If so NASA PAO
did a good job 40 years to present it as research agency.

There is no agency in the US that is allowed to not cooperate with the
Departement of Defense, if necessary. Your question is idiotic.

Perhaps naive.I'll leave it to you to stifle the free flow of
information through the lack of humility.

Clearly the manner you attempted to set the record straight was no
better than any implication that the original poster had intended.
