Pentagon recommends cutting nuclear missile stockpile (by 10 percent)

-snip-

Wenz estimated that about 300 military jobs could be lost if those missiles are decommissioned. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., estimated there could be a loss of up to 500 military and civilian jobs.

Baucus said the missile cuts could also mean a loss of approximately $3 million dollars in operating costs and federal funding for roads that access the missile sites.

"Cutting back on our missile defense at a time when we need a strong national defense system is foolish at best, and dangerous at worst," Baucus said.

Members of North Dakota's delegation also denounced the cuts. Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan both said they expected the reductions would take place at Malmstrom.
