Mr. EVANS, Ms. FURSE, Mr. HINCHEY, Mr. GEJDENSON, Mrs.
MALONEY, Mr. PALLONE, Mr. SABO, Mrs. SCHROEDER, Mr. SERRANO,
Mr. STARK, Ms. WOOLSEY, and Mr. MILLER of California) introduced
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on National Secu-
rity
A BILL
To further establish the ballistic missile defense policy of
the United States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Ballistic Missile
Defense Act of 1995’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) 
The 
Congress 
has 
appropriated
$36,000,000,000 for missile defense research and
development during the past 12 years.
(2) The United States has a limited amount of
resources available for military spending.
(3) The end of the Cold War requires the
United States to reevaluate its military spending
commitments.
(4) Senior United States intelligence officials
have determined that a serious long-range missile
threat from countries other than China and Russia
is at least a decade away.
(5) The United States has much more of a
time-urgent need for the development of short-range
missile defense for the foreseeable future.
(6) The 1972 ABM Treaty has helped avert a
costly and destabilizing offense/defense nuclear arms
race for nearly a quarter of a century and remains
important for further reductions in the Russian and
United States nuclear arsenals.
(7) The United States has at its disposal many
measures to seek the prevention of long-range mis-
sile proliferation that are much less costly than anti-
ballistic missile technology development and deploy-
ment.
SEC. 3. POLICY.
It is the policy of the United States—
(1) to adhere to the spirit and letter of the
1972 ABM Treaty; and
(2) to direct the limited missile defense re-
sources of the United States primarily toward short-
range missile threats.
SEC. 4. LIMITATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996 ON FUNDS FOR
BALLISTIC 
MISSILE 
DEFENSE 
ORGANIZA-
TION.
Of the funds made available for the Department of

year 
1996, 
not 
more 
than
$1,250,000,000 shall be made available for the Ballistic
Missile Defense Organization.
SEC. 5. LIMITATION ON FIELD TESTING AND DEPLOYMENT.
(a) LIMITATION.—No funds may be spent on field
testing or deployment of any missile defense system or
component in a manner that is inconsistent with the tradi-
tional interpretation of the 1972 ABM Treaty, as estab-
lished in the ratification process, subsequent state prac-
tice, and Agreed Statements and Common Understand-
ings, notwithstanding any agreements in the Standing
Consultative Commission concerning the clarification of
the distinction between theater and strategic defenses that
have been approved by the Senate and the Russian State
Duma.
