WASHINGTON, DC - WASHINGTON, D.C. - Montana's Congressman, Denny Rehberg, today joined House colleagues in providing funding for modification and maintenance to Malmstrom’s Missiles. 

            “The missiles at Malmstrom are a critical component of our nation’s defense,” said Rehberg, a member of the House Appropriations Committee.  “However, we must provide the necessary funds to ensure these missiles are maintained and can continue serve the Malmstrom community for years to come. Today’s legislation does that.”

The Defense Appropriations bill, which was passed by the House Appropriations Committee today, included more than $26 million for Air Force Missile Procurement.  These funds will be used to ensure the nation’s missiles, such as those at Malmstrom, are fully functional and reliable until 2030.

Specifically, the funds will provide for procurement, installation, and checkout of strategic ballistic and other missiles, modification of in-service missiles, and initial spares for missile systems.
