Kissinger includes the required argument in favor of a national ballistic missile shield here, but it is not his best effort. His explanation of why he urged Nixon to sign the anti-ballistic missile treaty sounds fishy (he says he was against it but the administration was backed into the treaty by domestic pressure), and he does a far better job of outlining the arguments against a shield than in rebutting them...
...hordes of workers dropped from insurance rolls. The year after Texas enacted its patients'-rights law, the cost of premiums decreased while the number of people with insurance increased more than 200,000, according to Kennedy.

...They're certainly much more inclined towards negotiating new treaties to deal with the new threats than towards building a missile shield. But President Bush couldn't have asked for more than he got, which was an agreement to continue discussing the issue. The ball is now back in the administration's court. The Europeans have said if you want us to discuss this issue, you have to come up with something concrete for us to respond to. So it's back to the drawing board for the administration, although they always knew it was going...
