WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today issued a statement:
"I'm pleased to see that Starkville's own Camgian was added to the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD contract and is now part of the Golden Dome for America team. This is another great example of how Mississippi is leading the revitalization of our defense industry and creating jobs for hard-working Americans eager to support the defense of our Nation.
"I am sure they, like so many others, are ready to move out on the President's signature defense initiative, which my colleagues and I strongly supported in last year's reconciliation bill. I urge the Department of Defense and the Office of Management and Budget to put those funds to work as soon as possible so we can build a safer, more secure future for our fellow Americans."
