Abstract:
The development of a reliable and safe system of strategic defense, allowing the U.S. to destroy incoming missiles, will permit the U.S. to reduce its terrifying reliance on vast arsenals of offensive nuclear weapons to deter Soviet attack. Instead of a peace based on a balance of terror, Americans can look forward to a peace based on a defense that really defends.
