House Republicans Push for East Coast Interceptor Site

摘要

Sixteen Republicans on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee are asking for $250 million to build a missile defense site on the U.S. East Coast, the latest in a series of efforts to fund an expanded territorial missile shield they say will help protect the United States from North Korea and Iran.rnTheir newest request appeared in an April 26 letter to Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee.
