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 accidental, 
unauthorized, or deliberate). 
(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. 
(3) Congress has fully funded the President’s 
budget request for the GMD sites in Alaska and Cali-
fornia in fiscal years 2008 and 2009, as well as con-
tinued development of the Standard Missile-3 Block 
IIA missile with Japan, which will provide the Aegis 
Ballistic Missile Defense system the capability to en-
gage long-range ballistic missiles like the North Ko-
rean Taepo Dong-2. 
(4) Senior defense and intelligence officials have 
indicated that the threat to the United States from 
long-range missiles from rogue states is limited. 
(5) Senior military officials have testified that 
the original threat assessments of the long-range mis-
sile threat made by the Missile Defense Agency in 
2002 were ‘‘off by a factor of 10 or 20’’.

(6) It is imperative that missile defense force 
structure and inventory be linked to the most likely 
threats and validated military requirements. 
(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 Di-
rector of the Missile Defense Agency have either testi-
fied 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. 
(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. 
(9) There is currently no existing military re-
quirement justifying the need to deploy 44 GMD 
interceptors, nor has that number been validated by 
the Department of Defense’s requirements process.

Director of the Missile Defense Agency indicated that

SEC. 226. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR A MISSILE DEFENSE 
SYSTEM FOR EUROPE AND THE UNITED 
STATES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Missile defense promotes the collective secu-
rity of the United States and NATO and improves 
linkages among member nations of NATO by defend-
ing all members of NATO against the full range of 
missile threats. 
(2) The Islamic Republic of Iran possesses the 
largest inventory of short-and medium-range ballistic 
missiles in the Middle East and these missiles rep-
resent 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. 
(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. 
(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 par-
ticipating in the meeting of the North Atlantic Coun-
cil 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 ac-
ceptable risk.’’ 
(5) The Director of Operational Test and Eval-
uation for the Department of Defense has raised con-
cerns 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. 
(6) The Fiscal Year 2008 Annual Report to Con-
gress by the Director of Operational Test and Evalua-
tion (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.

(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 Eu-
rope is from medium-range ballistic missiles. 
(b) RESERVATION OF FUNDS.—Of the funds made 
available for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 for the Missile De-
fense Agency for the purpose of developing missile defenses 
in Europe, $353,100,000 shall be available only for a mis-
sile defense system for Europe and the United States as de-
scribed in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (c). 
(c) USE OF FUNDS.—Funds reserved under subsection 
(b) may be obligated and expended by the Secretary of De-
fense— 
(1) on the research, development, test, and eval-
uation of— 
(A) the proposed midcourse radar element of 
the ground-based midcourse defense system in the 
Czech Republic; and 
(B) the proposed long-range missile defense 
interceptor site element of such defense system in 
Poland; or

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 com-
mittees a report certifying that the alternative missile 
defense system is expected to be— 
(A) consistent with the direction of the 
North Atlantic Council to address ballistic mis-
sile 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; 
(B) at least as cost-effective, technically reli-
able, and operationally available in protecting 
Europe and the United States from missile 
threats as the ground-based midcourse defense 
system described in paragraph (1); 
(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
