Agency Faults Haste of Missile Defense Development

The GAO's criticism was seized on by congressional critics of the $9-billion weapons program, which is by far the largest proposed by the Pentagon for the coming fiscal years and is under review as conferees consider the $400-billion 2004 defense authorization bill. Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.), members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement that they had "grave concern" about the report's findings. The report "clearly shows that the missile defense system the administration plans to field in 2004 will not be fully tested or proven to work under realistic conditions," Levin said.
