A) GOP MT Sen Daines to DefSec Austin: The fact that this balloon was occupying Montana airspace creates significant concern that Malmstrom Air Force Base and the United States’ intercontinental ballistic missile fields are the target of this intelligence gathering mission.
B) Daines: Given the serious nature of the event, I am requesting a full security briefing from the administration on this situation. It is vital to establish the flight path of this balloon, any compromised U.S. national security assets, and all telecom or IT infrastructure
C) Daines: There is no higher priority for your administration than the safety and security of the American people and it is imperative that your administration reassure them of that fact at this time.
