Leahy relieved that Vermont no longer considered for East Coast missile defense site

Comment of Senator Patrick Leahy on Vermont site no longer considered for East Coast missile defense site January 31, 2014.
‘The ground-based interceptors being contemplated for an East Coast missile defense site cost huge sums of money, without delivering reliable capability. I welcome the news that Vermont’s Camp Ethan Allen will not be considered as a site, and I continue to pursue redirecting those funds toward projects that have more proven and cost-effective success in keeping Americans safe.’
