HAMDT 741 (98th)

An amendment to the Bennett amendment to lower the air force missile procurement funds from $8,664,600,000 to $7,756,600,000 instead of $5,942,700,000 as in the Bennett amendment. The amendment also strikes the Bennett language that prohibits use of procurement funds for the MX missile and inserts a new section, "Policy Concerning Acquisition of Additional MX Missiles". The new section permits obligation of funds for 15 MX missiles after 4/1/85 only if the President certifies to Congress that the Soviets are not willing to take further actions on control and limitation on strategic nuclear missile weapons similar to the MX missile.
