SEC. 
242. 
POLICY 
CONCERNING 
BALLISTIC 
MISSILE
DEFENSE.
(a) BALLISTIC
MISSILE
DEFENSE
AND
OTHER
COUNTERPROLIFERATION
EFFORTS.—The 
Congress
views the deployment of ballistic missile defenses as a nec-
HR 1530 RFS
essary, but not sufficient, element of a broader strategy
to discourage both the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction and the proliferation of means of their delivery
and to defend against the consequences of such prolifera-
tion. The Congress, therefore, endorses and supports
measures designed to slow or halt the proliferation of ad-
vanced technologies that pose a threat to the safety and
security of the United States and to international stability.
(b) BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE AND STRATEGIC
STABILITY.—(1) The Congress views the deployment of
ballistic missile defenses as a strategically stabilizing
measure.
(2) The deployment of Theater Missile Defense sys-
tems at the earliest practical date pursuant to section
232(a)(1) will deny potential adversaries the option of es-
calating a conflict by threatening or attacking United
States forces, coalition partners of the United States, or
allies of the United States with ballistic missiles armed
with weapons of mass destruction to offset the operational
and technical advantages of the United States and its coa-
lition partners and allies.
(3) The deployment of a National Missile Defense
system at the earliest practical date pursuant to section
232(a)(2) against the threat of limited ballistic missile
attacks—
HR 1530 RFS
(A) will strengthen deterrence at the levels of
forces agreed to by the United States and Russia
under the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks Treaties
(START–I and START–II); and
(B) would further strengthen deterrence if re-
ductions below the levels permitted under START–
II should be agreed to in the future.
(c) PRESIDENTIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER NA-
TIONS.—(1) The Congress—
(A) notes that on the basis of section 235 it is
no longer necessary for the United States to con-
tinue discussions with Russia to clarify the distinc-
tion between ABM and TMD systems and, therefore,
urges the President to discontinue any such discus-
sions;
(B) notes that the ABM Treaty prohibits de-
ployment of ground-based interceptors in a number
that would be sufficient to assure that the entire
continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii are
defended against limited ballistic missile attacks;
and
(C) notes that past discussions with Russia,
based on Russian President Yeltsin’s proposal for a
Global Protection System, held promise of an agree-
ment to amend the ABM Treaty to allow defense
HR 1530 RFS
against a limited ballistic missile attack that would
have included (among other measures) permitted de-
ployment of as many as four ground-based intercep-
tor sites in addition to the one site currently per-
mitted under the ABM Treaty and unrestricted ex-
ploitation of ground-based and space-based sensors.
(2) In light of the findings in paragraph (1), Con-
gress urges the President to pursue high-level discussions
with Russia to amend the ABM Treaty to permit—
(A) deployment of the number of ground-based
ABM sites necessary to provide effective defense of
the entire territory of the United States against lim-
ited ballistic missile attack; and
(B) the unrestricted exploitation of sensors
based within the atmosphere and in space.
(3) It is in the interest of the United States to de-
velop its own missile defense capabilities in a manner that
will permit the United States to complement and support
the missile defense capabilities developed and deployed by
its allies and possible coalition partners. Therefore, the
Congress urges the President—
(A) to pursue high-level discussions with allies
and selected other states on the means and methods
by which the parties on a bilateral basis can cooper-
HR 1530 RFS
ate in the development, deployment, and operation of
ballistic missile defenses;
(B) to take the initiative within the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization to develop consensus in
the Alliance for a timely deployment of effective bal-
listic missile defenses by the Alliance; and
(C) in the interim, to seek agreement with allies
and selected other states on steps the parties should
take, consistent with their national interests, to re-
duce the risks posed by the threat of limited ballistic
missile attacks, such steps to include—
(i) the sharing of early warning informa-
tion derived from sensors deployed by the Unit-
ed States and other states;
(ii) the exchange on a reciprocal basis of
technical data and technology to support both
joint development programs and the sale and
purchase of missile defense systems and compo-
nents; and
(iii) operational level planning to exploit
current missile defense capabilities and to help
define future requirements.
