ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A proposal to cut more than $1 billion from the Missile Defense Agency's budget has some of Alaska's leaders worried, including Gov. Sarah Palin.
A proposal made by the secretary of defense would cut $1.4 billion from the agency.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Palin said the proposal is not the best decision for today's "threatened environment," and that she is deeply concerned how the cuts could impact Alaska and Hawaii with North Korea's missile development and testing program.
Gates says the cuts are needed to start an overhaul of unnecessary military spending. The link to Governor Palin's letter to Secretary Gates is below.
