U.S. Officials in Australia for Missile Defense Talks

U.S. defense officials are in Australia today to discuss the U.S. missile defense program, the Associated Press reported (see GSN, Sept. 29, 2004).

“The talks are exploring possible areas of cooperation on missile defense concentrating on research and development,” an Australian Defense Department spokeswoman said.

“The government will consider any proposal once they are fully developed,” she added.

The two countries signed an agreement last July to cooperate on the endeavor (Rod McGuirk, Associated Press/Yahoo!News, Jan. 19).
