Title: Strategic Defense Initiative, 1989. Report to the Congress

Abstract

This report serves as a summary of the SDI legacy of President Reagan, who launched the initiative with his historic speech of March 23, 1983. The report describes in detail current assessment of the best program for resolution of remaining technical issues, validation of technologies, and demonstration of our ability to integrate them. The program of research, development, and testing would, if adequately funded, support a fully informed decision by the President and Congress in the future on whether to deploy a strategic defense of the United States. Such defenses could enhance deterrence and increase stability.
