Advocacy Organization Welcomes Comments To U.S. Senate
Leadership
The Chairman and Founder of the Missile Defense Advocacy
Alliance (MDAA) says he has analyzed a recent statement by
President Obama regarding his support of missile defense to the
leadership of the United States Senate.
On Saturday, December 18th, President Barack Obama wrote a
letter focused on his support of missile defense to the leadership
of the United States Senate, Senator Harry Reid and Senator Mitch
McConnell. Missile defense analyst and MCAA chair Riki Ellison says
the letter is the strongest statement in support of missile defense
during his time in office and maybe one of the strongest ever by a
President of the United States.
He says the President's concluding paragraph sends a strong
positive message to our nation, our allies and to the world in his
commitment to developing and deploying missile defense.
"...As long as I am President, and as long as the Congress
provides the necessary funding, the United States will continue to
develop and deploy effective missile defenses to protect the United
States, our deployed forces, and our allies and partners. My
Administration plans to deploy all four phases of the European
Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA)," President Obama wrote. "While
advances of technology or future changes in the threat could modify
the details or timing of the latter phase of the EPAA- one reason
this approach is called 'adaptive' – I will take every action
available to me to support the deployment of all four phases."
Ellison and his organization strongly support the President's
statement on missile defense. With the President's commitment, he
said they look forward to seeing more priority and gaining more
confidence on our missile defense systems.
