After looking at it, the general has given it very little thought as many of the policy proposals are unserious in nature – at best. Privatizing NOAA is not something that the Congressman is in support of nor will he ever be.

Department of Defense
Missile defense has been underprioritized and underfunded in recent years. In
light of these growing threats, the incoming Administration should treat missile
defense as a top priority.
Needed Reforms
Champion the benefits of missile defense. Despite its deterrence and damage-limitation benefits, opponents argue incorrectly that U.S. missile defense is destabilizing because it threatens Russian and Chinese secondstrike capabilities.
1. Reject claims made by the Left that missile defense is destabilizing while acknowledging that Russia and China are developing their own advanced missile defense systems.
2. Commit to keeping homeland missile defense off the table in any arms control negotiations with Russia and China.”
Strengthen homeland ballistic missile defense. The United States currently deploys 44 Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs) as part of its Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system to defend the homeland against North Korea, but as North Korea improves its missile program, this system is at risk of falling behind the threat."
1. Buy atleast 64 of the Next Generation Interceptor (NGD), which is more advanced than the GBI, for an eventual uniform fleet of interceptors.** The Biden Administration currently plans to buy only 20.
2. Consider additional steps to strengthen the GMD system such as a layered missile defense or a third interceptor site on the East Coast.
Increase the development of regional missile defense. As the Ukraine conflict amply demonstrates, U.S. regional missile defense capabilities are very limited. The United States has been unable to supply our partners reliably with any capabilities, and the number and types of regional missile defense platforms are less than the U.S. needs for its own defense. The U.S. should prioritize procurement of more regional defense systems such as Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), Standard Missile-3, and Patriot missiles.
Change U.S. missile defense policy. Historically, the U.S. has chosen to rely solely on deterrence to address the Russian and Chinese ballistic
