I just found at the Library of Congress website a PDF of the February 4, 1985 Pentagon budget document mentioning the name Aurora: In this document, the U-2 is mentioned below the name Aurora, there is no separate line item for the B-2 (referred to as Advanced Technology Bomber in the FY 1986 budget request document) listed in the budget document (it is important to note that the winning Northrop ATB design was not yet designated B-2 when the budget document was released).
