 112 STAT. 1952 PUBLIC LAW 105-261—OCT. 17, 1998 (e) DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE FOR LIMITATION ON PROCURE- MENT OF SYSTEMS NOT GPS-EQUIPPED. —Section 152(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 107 Stat. 1578) is amended by striking out "2000" and inserting in lieu thereof "2005". (f) FUNDING FROM AUTHORIZED APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999. —Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated under section 201(3), $44,000,000 shall be available to establish and carry out an enhanced Global Positioning System program. Subtitle C—Ballistic Missile Defense SEC. 231. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE COV- ERAGE. It is the sense of Congress that— (1) any national missile defense system deployed by the United States must provide effective defense against limited, accidental, or unauthorized ballistic missile attack for all 50 States; and (2) the territories of the United States should be afforded effective protection against ballistic missile attack. SEC. 232. LIMITATION ON FUNDING FOR THE MEDIUM EXTENDED AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM. None of the funds appropriated for fiscal year 1999 for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization may be obligated for the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) until the Secretary of Defense certifies to Congress that the future-years defense program includes sufficient programmed funding for that system to complete the design and development phase. If the Secretsiry does not submit such a certification by January 1, 1999, then (effective as of that date) the funds appropriated for fiscal year 1999 for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization that are allocated for the MEADS program shall be available to support alternative programmatic and technical approaches to meeting the requirement for mobile theater missile defense that was to be met by the MEADS system. SEC. 233. LIMITATION ON FUNDING FOR COOPERATIVE BALLISTIC MIS- SILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS. Of the funds appropriated for fiscal year 1999 for the Russian- American Observational Satellite (RAMOS) program, $5,000,000 may not be obligated until the Secretary of Defense certifies to Congress that the Department of Defense has received detailed information concerning the nature, extent, and military implications of the transfer of ballistic missile technology from Russian sources to Iran. SEC. 234. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATION WITH RUSSIA. It is the sense of Congress that, as the United States proceeds with efforts to develop defenses against ballistic missile attack, the United States should seek to foster a climate of cooperation with Russia on matters related to ballistic missile defense and that, in particular, the United States and its NATO allies should seek to cooperate with Russia in such areas as early warning of ballistic missile launches.
