Statement of policy on Minuteman III, Sentinel, and education funding

It is the policy of the United States that— (1) as of the date of the enactment of this Act, the Sentinel program is significantly over budget and behind schedule and should be paused and reevaluated for need and technical merit; (2) the operational life of the Minuteman III missile should be safely extended until at least 2050; and (3) investments in the Department of Education are a better use of United States taxpayer resources than continuing with the current Sentinel program.
