From a “Statement of Administration Policy” on the DoD Appropriations Act, as it appeared in this evening’s Nelson Report:

Missile Defense Agency Rescissions. The Administration opposes the rescission of 2009 funds for the European Interceptor Site because this would remove the Administration’s flexibility to arrive at a future decision on ballistic missile defense in Europe. The Administration also objects to the rescission of 2009 funds for the Space Tracking and Surveillance System, which would result in immediate cessation of work and deobligation of funds.

There is still a Ballistic Missile Defense Review going on, after all.

If you’re curious about that subject, you can read the prepared testimonies and a transcript from a June 12 SASC hearing on missile defense.
