Subject: Weakening National Security by Blocking Nuclear Weapon Modernization
Description: Garamendi (D-CA) amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, which would severely jeopardize national security by blocking funding for nuclear weapon modernization initiatives. Specifically, the bill would prohibit funding for the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Program and the W87-1 warhead modification program, which are replacing the nearly 50-year-old Minuteman III Intercontinental ballistic missile system. ACU firmly believes in President Ronald Reagan's "peace through strength" doctrine, and supports strengthening our national security by ensuring our military is as strong and prepared as possible, especially at a time when China is deploying an enormous new nuclear arsenal.
Result: Amendment Rejected, 118-299
