SEC. 232. ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SITE IN THE 
UNITED STATES FOR OPTIMIZED PROTEC-
TION OF THE HOMELAND. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) President George W. Bush and President 
Barack Obama have each recognized the necessity for 
an additional measure of protection–beyond missile 
defense sites in Alaska and California–for defending 
the United States against intercontinental ballistic 
missile (ICBM) threats emanating from the Middle 
East. 
(2) General Jacoby, the Commander of the 
United States Northern Command, testified before 
Congress that ‘‘we should consider that Iran has a ca-
pability within the next few years of flight testing 
ICBM capable technologies’’ and that ‘‘the Iranians 
are intent on developing an ICBM’’. 
(3) General Kehler, the Commander of the 
United States Strategic Command, testified before 
Congress that ‘‘I am confident that we can defend 
against a limited attack from Iran, although we are 
not in the most optimum posture to do that today. . 
.it doesn’t provide total defense today’’. 
(4) General Jacoby also testified before Congress 
that ‘‘I would agree that a third site, wherever the de-
cision is to build a third site, would give me better

weapons access, increased GBI inventory and allow 
us the battle space to more optimize our defense 
against future threats from Iran and North Korea’’. 
(5) Section 227 of the National Defense Author-
ization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112– 
239; 126 Stat. 1678) directs the Missile Defense Agen-
cy— 
(A) to conduct environmental impact stud-
ies for three potential locations for an additional 
missile defense site capable of protecting the 
homeland; and 
(B) to develop a contingency plan in case 
the President determines to proceed with deploy-
ment of such an additional site. 
(6) According the Missile Defense Agency, the 
cost to deploy up to 20 ground-based interceptors 
(GBIs) at a new missile defense site on the East 
Coast of the United States is approximately 
$3,000,000,000 and would require approximately 5 to 
6 years to complete. 
(b) ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SITE.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Missile Defense Agency 
shall construct and make operational in fiscal year 
2018 an additional homeland missile defense site ca-

SEC. 233. LIMITATION ON REMOVAL OF MISSILE DEFENSE 
EQUIPMENT FROM EAST ASIA. 
(a) POLICY.—It is the policy of the United States 
that— 
(1) the missile defenses of the United States pro-
vide defense against multiple threats, including 
threats to the United States, allies of the United 
States, and the deployed forces of the United States; 
and 
(2) the elimination of one threat, for example the 
illegal nuclear weapons program of a rogue state, does 
not eliminate the reason the United States deploys 
missile defenses to a particular region, including to 
defend allies of the United States and deployed forces 
of the United States from other regional threats. 
(b) LIMITATION.—Except as provided by subsection (c) 
or (d), none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014 
or any fiscal year thereafter may be obligated or expended

SEC. 240. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF 
THE STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) President Ronald Reagan in March 1983, in 
a speech from the oval office, laid the corner stone for 
a long-term research and development program to 
begin to achieve our ultimate goal of eliminating the 
threat posed by strategic nuclear missiles. 
(2) President Reagan stated, ‘‘I’ve become more 
and more deeply convinced that the human spirit 
must be capable of rising above dealing with other 
nations and human beings by threatening their exist-
ence. . . What if free people could live secure in the 
knowledge that their security did not rest upon the 
threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter a Soviet at-
tack, that we could intercept and destroy strategic 
ballistic missiles before they reached our own soil or 
that of our allies?’’. 
(3) The Strategic Defense Initiative, also known 
as ‘‘Star Wars’’, challenged the nation to accomplish 
the impossible by moving beyond the obvious possibili-
ties of the day to set the United States and our allies 
up for success.

(4) In 1999, the Ballistic Missile Defense Orga-
nization (BMDO), National Missile Defense (NMD) 
prototype interceptor successfully demonstrated ‘‘hit- 
to-kill’’ technology intercepting a modified Minute-
man intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). 
(5) Congress passed the National Missile Defense 
Act of 1999 (Public Law 106–38) (signed by Presi-
dent Clinton), which stated, ‘‘It is the policy of the 
United States to deploy, as soon as is technologically 
possible, an effective National Missile Defense system 
capable of defending the territory of the United States 
against limited ballistic missile attack (whether acci-
dental, unauthorized, or deliberate)’’. 
(6) On December 13, 2001, President George W. 
Bush announced ‘‘I have concluded the ABM treaty 
hinders our government’s ability to develop ways to 
protect our people from future terrorist or rogue state 
missile attacks’’. 
(7) Russian President Vladimir Putin said the 
move was ‘‘not a threat to the security of the Russian 
Federation’’. 
(8) Since 2001, the United States has deployed 
considerable Missile Defense capability: 30 ground- 
based interceptors defending the continental U.S. 
today; 32 Aegis BMD ships; 113 SM-3 IA intercep-

tors; 25 SM-3 IB interceptors; 3 THAAD batteries 
and 89 interceptors; and 8 AN/TPY-2 forward-based 
sensors. 
(9) The United States has partnerships with 22 
nations, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO), for missile defense cooperation. Likewise, 
India and South Korea are developing missile de-
fenses and the Russian Federation and People’s Re-
public of China are also developing and improving 
missile defenses. 
(10) Since 2001 when they began development, 
United States missile defenses have had a test record 
of 58 of 73 hit-to-kill intercept attempts and have 
been successful across all programs of the integrated 
system, including Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense 
(BMD), Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), 
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), and 
PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3. 
(11) In July of 2004, the United States missile 
defense system was declared operational with limited 
capability. Since that time, it has offered defense 
against limited threats to the continental United 
States. 
(12) The United States has cooperatively devel-
oped with our Israeli allies a number of missile de-

fense systems including Arrow, Arrow 3 and David’s 
Sling, systems which will protector our Israeli allies 
and contribute technology and expertise to U.S. sys-
tems. 
(13) The United States in support of NATO de-
ployed a Patriot missile battery to defend the popu-
lation and territory of Turkey and provide material 
support for Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty in 
the event of spillover from the Syrian civil war and 
has deployed Phase I of the European Phased Adapt-
ive Approach, which includes a transportable x-band 
radar array and an on-station AEGIS ballistic mis-
sile defense ship armed with Standard Missile 3 block 
IA missile interceptors. 
(14) When United States territory, deployed 
forces and allies were threatened by North Korean 
ballistic missiles the United States had the oper-
ational capability and national will to deploy 
THAAD units to Guam to provide a defensive shield. 
(15) The United States continues to work jointly 
with Japan to improve the Navy Aegis Ballistic Mis-
sile Defense (BMD) which in addition to providing 
missile defense in the Pacific is also a keystone in the 
Phased Adaptive Approach for European missile de-
fense.

(16) On-going research and development under 
the auspices of the Missile Defense Agency will con-
tinue to expand the technology envelope to deploy a 
layered missile defense system capable of defending 
the homeland, our military forces deployed overseas, 
friendly nations and our allies against all ballistic 
missiles from launch and orbit to reentry. 
(17) A credible ballistic missile defense system is 
critical to the national defense of the United States. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 
(1) recognizes the inspiring leadership of Presi-
dent Ronald Reagan to ‘‘maintain the peace through 
strength’’; 
(2) recognizes the enduring obligation President 
as Commander in Chief to‘‘ preserve, protect, and de-
fend the Constitution’’; 
(3) commemorates the vision of President 
Reagan on the 30th anniversary of the Strategic De-
fense Initiative; 
(4) believes that it is imperative that the United 
States continue fielding a robust missile defense sys-
tem, including additional ground based interceptors;
