Additional U.S.-Russian Joint Missile Defense Projects Needed, Weldon Says

The United States is considering several projects to help increase Russian cooperation in missile defense efforts, U.S. Representative Curt Weldon (R-Pa.) said yesterday (see GSN, May 21).

Weldon is the leader of a U.S. delegation of lawmakers and Missile Defense Agency officials that has traveled to Moscow, according to the Associated Press. He said yesterday that the missile defense projects being looked at range “from the use of Russian radar systems to the potential involvement of Russia in targeting and other aspects of missile defense” (Anneli Nerman, Associated Press/KDKA.com, May 25).
