RESOLUTION
Commending the United States military and defense con-
tractor personnel responsible for a successful in-flight
ballistic missile defense interceptor test on July 14,
2001, and for other purposes.
Whereas at 11:09 p.m., eastern daylight time on July 14,
2001, the United States successfully tested an interceptor
missile against a target Minuteman intercontinental bal-
listic missile in flight;
Whereas the target missile was launched from Vandenburg
Air Force Base, California, and was traveling at approxi-
mately 140 miles above the Earth at a speed of greater
than 11,000 feet per second, which is more than three
•HRES 195 ATH
times faster than a high-powered rifle bullet, when struck
by the interceptor missile;
Whereas the interceptor missile was also traveling at a speed
greater than 11,000 feet per second at the time of im-
pact;
Whereas more than 35,000 Americans contributed to the suc-
cessful test, including the Air Force team which launched
the target missile from Vandenburg Air Force Base and
the Army team which developed the radar and kill vehi-
cle, the Navy and Coast Guard team which provided se-
curity for the test, the Ballistic Missile Defense Organi-
zation team which supervised the testing program, and
the contractor team consisting of thousands of American
scientists, engineers, and blue collar workers employed by
the prime contractors and hundreds of small businesses;
and
Whereas the House of Representatives understands that test-
ing of ballistic missile defenses will involve many failures
as well as successes in the future, the House of Rep-
resentatives nonetheless commends the effort and inge-
nuity of those who worked so hard to make the test a
success: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives thanks
and commends the thousands of United States military
and Government personnel, contractors, engineers, sci-
entists, and workers who worked diligently to make the
July 14, 2001, missile defense intercept test a success.
