Summary

Ballistic Missile Defense Act of 1995 - Expresses as the policy of the United States to: (1) adhere to the spirit and letter of the 1972 ABM Treaty; and (2) direct the limited U.S. missile defense resources primarily toward short-range missile threats. Limits to $1.25 billion the FY 1996 Department of Defense funding that may be made available for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization. Requires field testing and deployment of any missile defense system to be consistent with the traditional interpretation of the ABM Treaty.
