Abstract:

The U.S. must be prepared to respond to the Soviet strategic defense program both politically and militarily.This will require the U.S. to modernize its offensive forces and pursue it own strategic defense program. Absent such a positive U.S. response, the Soviet Union will have achieved through its strategic defense program a clear political and military advantage relative to the U.S. and its allies.
