President Bush Signs Defense Bill, With 10 Billion for Missile Defense

August 5, 2004 :: The White House :: News

President Bush today signed a $391 billion dollar defense appropriations bill for fiscal 2005, which included some 10 billion dollars for ballistic missile defense. The level of funding is comparable to that of last year. His signing comments included the following:

This bill provides $10 billion for systems to defend against the threat from ballistic missiles. Later this year, the first components of America’s missile defense system will become operational. This will fulfill a pledge I made to the American people more than four years ago. America and our allies face a deadly threat from ballistic missiles armed with the world’s most dangerous weapons. And we will deploy the technologies necessary to protect our people.
