THIS IS A RUSH FDCH TRANSCRIPT. IT MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
BARBARA STARR, CNN:  I caught up with Congressman Lamborn just a short time ago, to try and get some additional clarification.

Have a listen.

REP. DOUG LAMBORN, R-COLORADO:  We do not know that they have, with any high degree of certainty.  We know that, with moderate certainty, they do have that capability.

And the reason I’m concerned about this is because the president has offered a Defense budget that cuts missile defense by half a billion dollars   My goal in all this is, by calling attention to the potential threats, that we restore those dollars.
