...shouting "We want Kemp!" Addressing members of the audience as "fellow revolutionaries," Kemp assured them that "our ideas are on the march and nothing can stop them." He drew loud applause with a pledge not only to pursue research on Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative but also to deploy it. That is a matter on which Reagan has still not made a final decision.
