TEST, AND EVALUATION FUNDS FOR FIELD-
ING BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE CAPABILI-
TIES.
Upon approval by the Secretary of Defense, funds au-
thorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2008 for the use
†
HR 5122 EAS
of the Department of Defense for research, development, test,
and evaluation and available for the Missile Defense Agency
may be used for the development and fielding of ballistic
missile defense capabilities.
SEC. 232. POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES ON PRIORITIES
IN THE DEVELOPMENT, TESTING, AND FIELD-
ING OF MISSILE DEFENSE CAPABILITIES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In response to the threat posed by ballistic
missiles, President George W. Bush in December 2002
directed the Secretary of Defense to proceed with the
fielding of an initial set of missile defense capabilities
in 2004 and 2005.
(2) According to assessments by the intelligence
community of the United States, North Korea tested
in 2005 a new solid propellant short-range ballistic
missile and is likely developing intermediate-range
and intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities that
could someday reach as far as the United States with
a nuclear payload.
(3) According to assessments by the intelligence
community of the United States, Iran continued in
2005 to test its medium range ballistic missile, and
the danger that Iran will acquire a nuclear weapon
†
HR 5122 EAS
and integrate it with a ballistic missile Iran already
possesses is a reason for immediate concern.
(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the United States that
the Department of Defense accord a priority within the mis-
sile defense program to the development, testing, fielding,
and improvement of effective near-term missile defense ca-
pabilities, including the ground-based midcourse defense
system, the Aegis ballistic missile defense system, the Pa-
triot PAC–3 system, the Terminal High Altitude Area De-
fense system, and the sensors necessary to support such sys-
tems.
