H.Con.Res.428 - Recommending that Congress not provide funds for fiscal year 2005 for the deployment of ground-based, strategic, mid-course, ballistic missile defense system components that have not met operational testing requirements and, instead, provide needed funding for programs designed to keep America's ports secure from terrorist attacks.
Recommends that: (1) the amount of funds appropriated for ballistic missile defense programs for FY 2005 should be capped at FY 2004 levels; (2) any funds appropriated for such programs for FY 2005 should not be used to deploy a ground-based, strategic, midcourse, ballistic missile defense system that has not met operational testing requirements demonstrating the maturity of all critical technologies; and (3) funds appropriated for port security programs within the Department of Homeland Security for FY 2005 should be increased by $500 million over FY 2004 levels.
