	Margaret Thatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was a philosophic soulmate with Ronald Reagan, elected in 1980 in the United States, and to a lesser extent Brian Mulroney, who was elected a little later in Canada.
		Her liking for defence ties with the United States was demonstrated in the Westland affair when she acted with colleagues to prevent the helicopter manufacturer Westland, a vital defence contractor, from linking with the Italian firm Agusta in favour of a link with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation of the United States.
		Defence Secretary Michael Heseltine, who had pushed the Agusta deal, resigned in protest at her style of leadership, and thereafter became a potential leadership challenger.

	Document 1363 17th May 1993 Anti-missile defence for Europe - guidelines drawn from the symposium
		During the Rome symposium, the consequences of the new United States administration's security and defence policy on the American anti-missile defence programme and in particular on the future of the United States strategic defence initiative organisation (SDIO) was not yet foreseeable.
		Defences of the United States territory were to be given second priority and Brilliant Pebbles was to be at the bottom of the priority list.
		In spite of the absence of a high-level political presence at the symposium (with the exception of the Italian Defence Minister) and in spite of the overwhelming industrial representation, it is to be welcomed that the contributions and proposals were certainly not one- sided.

	Secretary Aspin - The End of the Star Wars Era - 13 May 1993
		The second priority is the ballistic missile defense of the continental United States, and that's not against theater missile attack, but against intercontinental ballistic missile attack.
		The thing that protected the United States without Star Wars was the notion that if you attack me, I'm going to attack you, and it's going to be suicidal and we're both going to get killed, so don't do it.
		Do you protect the defense of the United States through a balance of terror plus some arms control to try and reduce the destabilizing weapons at the margin, or do you do it through trying to build the defense of the United States, and how do you mesh those two.
