Congress cuts Europe defense budget
A Congressional committee slashed the funding to Bush’s European missile defense system budget.
The House appropriations committee cut $139m from the $310m the Bush administration wants for preparatory work on the missile project in Europe. It approved funds for a radar system in the Czech Republic but cut the $139m Mr Bush requested to establish a missile interception system in Poland, the most controversial part of the defence system.
