Thanks, greg {convex,infoswx}!ntvax!greg NTSU Denton,Tx ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Defence December 1987 "SDI Partnership and Participation" contains invaluable detailed information, much firsthand, on what the SDI programme is all about, how it is being administered, the various special contracting procedures designed to drive it along, and the assistance being offered to business and academic institutions bidding for research funding. Focusing on the UK/US SDI Memorandum of Understanding and subsequent arrangements-the model for all foreign participation in the SDI program- the editor and contributors examine every aspect of the most important military/industrial initiative launched in this half of the 20th century. The US Congress has allocated $26 billion to SDI R & D through to 1990 and, President Reagan has indicated deployment might begin as early as 1993. Overall the programme might be worth more than $1,000 billion. The implications of SDI on Western security policy, East - West arms control control, nuclear and conventional deterrence, and high technology develop- ment and spin-off are far reaching. "SDI Partnership and Participation" represents the most comprehensive and detailed examination available of the US Strategic Defense Initiative and its international programmes. It not only looks at how bodies like the Pentagon's SDI Organisation and Britain's SDI Participation Office are organised, staffed and run and how contracts are being awarded in theory and practice, but also contains many useful names, addresses and telephone numbers essential for anyone wishing to pursue their own inquiries. ----> L5.00 UK L6.50 or US$10.00 rest of world, surface mail. ----> L10.00 or US$16.00 rest of world, air mail.
