So the amendment, as modified and

SEC. 232. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE POLICY

OF THE UNITED STATES.

It is the policy of the United States—

(1) to deploy at the earliest practical date

highly effective theater missile defenses

(TMD) to protect forward-deployed and expeditionary elements of the Armed Forces of

the United States and to complement the

missile defense capabilities of our allies and

forces friendly to the United States; and

(2) to develop, test, and deploy, at the earliest practical dates, a national missile defense system (NMD) that complies with the

ABM Treaty and is capable of providing a

highly effective defense of the United States

against limited ballistic missile attacks.

Page 32, strike out line 17 and all that follows through line 5 on page 33 and insert in

lieu thereof the following:

(1) Up to 100 ground-based interceptors at

the site now designated by the ABM Treaty

or additional ground-based interceptors at

such other site or sites as the Secretary of

Defense may recommend if deployment of

ground-based interceptors at more than one

site is allowed by amendment to the ABM

Treaty.

(2) Fixed, ground-based radars.

(3) Space-based sensors that are capable of

acquiring and tracking incoming reentry vehicles as an adjunct to ground-based radars.

Page 38, after line 11, insert the following:

(b) INTERPRETATION.—Nothing in this subtitle shall be interpreted to violate, or to authorize the violation by the United States of,

the ABM Treaty. Any provision of this subtitle that authorizes or requires the United

States to deviate from the ABM Treaty is

premised on the assumption that before any

such action is taken amendments will be
