SEC. 224. SENSE OF CONGRESS REAFFIRMING CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES AGAINST LIMITED BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACKS WHETHER ACCIDENTAL, UNAUTHORIZED, OR DELIBERATE.
(a) Findings- Congress makes the following findings:CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(1) Congress passed and the President signed the National Missile Defense Act of 1999 (
(2) The United States has thus far deployed 26 long-range, Ground-based, Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptors in Alaska and California to defend against potential long-range missiles from rogue states such as North Korea.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(3) Congress has fully funded the President’s budget request for the GMD sites in Alaska and California in fiscal years 2008 and 2009, as well as continued development of the Standard Missile-3 Block IIA missile with Japan, which will provide the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system the capability to engage long-range ballistic missiles like the North Korean Taepo Dong-2.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(4) Senior defense and intelligence officials have indicated that the threat to the United States from long-range missiles from rogue states is limited.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(5) Senior military officials have testified that the original threat assessments of the long-range missile threat made by the Missile Defense Agency in 2002 were ‘off by a factor of 10 or 20’.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(6) It is imperative that missile defense force structure and inventory be linked to the most likely threats and validated military requirements.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(7) The Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Commander of the United States Strategic Command’s Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense, and the Director of the Missile Defense Agency have either testified or stated that 30 operationally deployed GMD interceptors would be adequate to defend against any rogue missile threat to the United States in the near- to mid-term.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(8) The Director of the Missile Defense Agency testified that, for the first time since the establishment of the Missile Defense Agency in 2002, key elements of the Department of Defense, such as the combatant commanders and the military services, played a major role in shaping the missile defense budget for fiscal year 2010.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(9) There is currently no existing military requirement justifying the need to deploy 44 GMD interceptors, nor has that number been validated by the Department of Defense’s requirements process.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(10) In testimony before Congress this year, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency indicated that a number of GMD interceptors were removed from their silos for unscheduled maintenance and refurbishment because of unanticipated problems with the interceptors were discovered.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(b) Sense of Congress- It is the sense of Congress that the United States--CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(1) reaffirms the principles articulated in the National Missile Defense Act of 1999;CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(2) should continue to fund robust research, development, test, and evaluation of the current GMD system deployed in Alaska in California to ensure that the system will work in an operationally effective, suitable, maintainable, and survivable manner to defend the territory of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack (whether accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate);CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(3) should continue the development of the Standard Missile-3 Block IIA missile with Japan, which will provide the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system a capability to counter long-range ballistic missiles like the North Korean Taepo Dong-2; andCommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(4) should set future missile defense force structure and inventory requirements based on a clear linkage to the threat and the military requirements process that takes into account the views of key Department of Defense stakeholders such as the combatant commanders and the military services.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink

SEC. 226. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM FOR EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES.
(a) Findings- Congress makes the following findings:CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(1) Missile defense promotes the collective security of the United States and NATO and improves linkages among member nations of NATO by defending all members of NATO against the full range of missile threats.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(2) The Islamic Republic of Iran possesses the largest inventory of short-and medium-range ballistic missiles in the Middle East and these missiles represent a threat to Europe and United States interests and deployed forces in the region. Neither NATO nor the United States currently possesses sufficient theater missile defense capability to counter this threat from Iran.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(3) Iran does not currently possess a long-range ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States and, if it were to develop such a capability in the near future, the long-range Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptors currently deployed in Alaska have sufficient range to protect the United States against an emerging threat.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(4) It is in the interest of the United States to work cooperatively with NATO to counter these threats consistent with the direction provided in the statement by the Heads of State and Government participating in the meeting of the North Atlantic Council in Strasbourg/Kehl on April 4, 2009, that: ‘we judge that missile threats should be addressed in a prioritized manner that includes consideration of the level of imminence of the threat and the level of acceptable risk.’.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(5) The Director of Operational Test and Evaluation for the Department of Defense has raised concerns about the operational effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of the current GMD system, and the Director of the Missile Defense Agency testified before the House Armed Services Committee on May 21, 2009, that health and status indicators forced the agency to remove several long-range interceptors for unscheduled maintenance and refurbishment.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(6) The Fiscal Year 2008 Annual Report to Congress by the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) stated: ‘The inherent BDMS defensive capability against theater threats increased during the last fiscal year and DOT&E expects this trend to continue’ largely due to the continued progress of the AEGIS and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) systems in operational testing.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(7) The proposed European locations of the long-range missile defense system allow for the defense of both Europe and the United States against long-range threats launched from the Middle East, but a limited deployment of GMD interceptors on the east coast of the United States would provide comparable defense of our homeland and the most pressing threat to Europe is from medium-range ballistic missiles.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(b) Reservation of Funds- Of the funds made available for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 for the Missile Defense Agency for the purpose of developing missile defenses in Europe, $353,100,000 shall be available only for a missile defense system for Europe and the United States as described in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (c).CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(c) Use of Funds- Funds reserved under subsection (b) may be obligated and expended by the Secretary of Defense--CommentsClose CommentsPermalink

(A) the proposed midcourse radar element of the ground-based midcourse defense system in the Czech Republic; andCommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(B) the proposed long-range missile defense interceptor site element of such defense system in Poland; orCommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(2) on the research, development, test, and evaluation, procurement, site activation, construction, preparation of, equipment for, or deployment of an alternative integrated missile defense system that would protect Europe and the United States from the threats posed by all types of ballistic missiles, if the Secretary submits to the congressional defense committees a report certifying that the alternative missile defense system is expected to be--CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(A) consistent with the direction of the North Atlantic Council to address ballistic missile threats to Europe and the United States in a prioritized manner that includes consideration of the level of imminence of the threat and the level of acceptable risk;CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(B) at least as cost-effective, technically reliable, and operationally available in protecting Europe and the United States from missile threats as the ground-based midcourse defense system described in paragraph (1);CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(C) deployable in a sufficient amount of time to counter current and emerging ballistic missile threats (as determined by the intelligence community) launched from the Middle East that could threaten Europe and the United States; andCommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(D) interoperable with other components of missile defense and compliments NATO’s missile defense strategy.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink

(C) The effect on force structure of the use by the armed forces of technologies anticipated to be available for the ensuing 20 years.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(4) Section 1070 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (
(5) Among the requirements established by section 1070 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 for the elements that must be included in the nuclear posture review is ‘[t]he role that missile defense capabilities and conventional strike forces play in determining the role and size of nuclear forces.’.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(6) The Final Report of the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States, issued on May 7, 2009, concluded: ‘Missile defenses can play a useful role in supporting the basic objectives of deterrence, broadly defined. Defenses that are effective against regional aggressors are a valuable component of the U.S. strategic posture. The United States should develop and, where appropriate, deploy missile defenses against regional nuclear aggressors, including against limited long-range threats. These can also be beneficial for limiting damage if deterrence fails. The United States should ensure that its actions do not lead Russia or China to take actions that increase the threat to the United States and its allies and friends.’.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(b) Sense of Congress- It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should thoroughly consider the role of ballistic missile defenses during the Quadrennial Defense Review and the Nuclear Posture Review.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
