  The Ronald Reagan and the Soviet Union Homepage - SDI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
SDI should be viewed as a complex political blend of psychological, technical and economic factors, in addition to it having an anti-deterrent effect.
SDI could thereby serve as an affective assurance against the Soviets breaking a treaty; the consequences would no longer be ominous.
It remains an uncertainty whether SDI actually strengthened or weakened deterrence, but one may conclude that, with the benefit of hindsight, the relations improved markedly; a nuclear war was prevented; and the first strategic weapons reduction treaty was signed in the aftermath of SDI.

 Congress's SDI Cuts Deserve a Bush Veto
This amendment would devastate the SDI program by disrupting ongoing research efforts, causing huge layoffs of scientists and engineers working on the program and slowing progress on research, development, and testing to a snail's pace.
Cutting the current SDI budget request by 25 percent, for example, as already done by the House Armed Services Committee, would mean failing to achieve the fundamental goal of making an informed decision on deployment within four years, as planned from the very beginning of the program.
SDI supporters on Capitol Hill, however, seem at a loss to explain why Bush has not forcefully condemned the proposals to cut SDI funding.

 Concern's over MIT's involvement in SDI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
We must make it clear that our acceptance of research under the SDI program is based on our tradition of faculty initiated research, and in no way contitutes an institutional position on the SDI program.
Thus, SDI is likely to fund research at MIT in a narrower range of disciplines.
Sessions are planned dealing with the technical feasibility of SDI, its political and economic implications, and its impact on academic research in general and on MIT in particular.

 Steve Gant's SDI Bibliography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
SDI, whether manual, computerized, or hybrid, is particularly important in the technical and scientific information establishments of the industrial sector: there are some clear economic reasons for this phenomenon.
Conclusions: SDI services should concentrate efforts on serving scientists in specialities with high scatter of information by developing systems that are capable of searching across conventional disciplines and specialties, by providing assistance in profile development, and by conducting a marketing campaign toward these scientists.
Two different approaches to indexing information for SDI systems are discussed, with emphasis on the desirability of using enumerative hierarchical classifications to improve the precision and quality of matching scientists with useful documents.

 STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE - Nuclear Thermal Propulsion
It is probably not coincidental that the Timberwind special access program was established within months of the release of a draft report reviewing the MMW program which was highly critical of the particle-bed reactor concept.
While the full details remain shrouded in secrecy, there is at least some circumstantial evidence that the SDI Multi-Megawatt power program provided both the general impetus for the Timberwind program, as well as influencing the particular decision to conduct this program at a Special Access Required level of classification.
Gas-cooled reactors relative to liquid-metal cooled reactors for SDI MMW electrical power applications included larger and heavier reactors and radiators, but this was offset by the ease with which gas-cooled reactors could use open-cycle cooling.
