House bill calls for US firms to share in Israel's Iron Dome
The committee report for the Defense Authorization bill ties funding to American participation and data sharing.
A little-noticed provision in the Defense Authorization bill that cleared the House on May 22 ties funding for Israel missile defense to increased participation by American firms.
The $600 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) almost doubles next year's funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense program, adding $175 million to the $176 million requested in President Barack Obama's fiscal year 2015 budget proposal.
