bush 41. but a couple of quick observations. i'd like to like to run through , at least from my perspective, perhaps the two most important things coming out of president reagan's sdi speech was when he reopened the debate about whether the united states should defend itself against ballistic missiles or choose to remain vulnerable. right. not just the homeland, but american military forces deployed abroad. right. and so that was a significant kind of intellectual transformation, even though would be many, many decades before the united withdraw from the treaty and place defenses. president reagan's speech sort of reopened this debate that had really been shut down pretty tight by the abm treaty. the second significant aspect, my perspective, the sdi speech was, he really transformed the way the united states thought about missile defense capabilities, technologies and systems. heretofore, you know, missile defense options were confined to a single kind of technology. right. nuclear warheads o
