In 1972, President Richard Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev agreed to the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty which forbade both sides from deploying a national missile-defense system, and restricted the testing which might make such a system possible. Presidential Administration’s Agenda  for Missile Defense Reagan’s Administration-Despite passage of the ABM treaty, the Reagan administration took up the cause again the 1980’s. Ultimately, the Reagan administration spent tens of billions of dollars on the development of missile defense which the vast majority of scientists knew couldn’t work . Reagan promised a “nuclear shield” that would achieve an “ultimate security” for the American people, such a system was never even conceivable. Bush Administration-(Father) - proposed a limited system, renamed “ Global Protection Against Accidental Launch System”. This system was proposed to protect Americans against an accidental launch.

By the end of the Bush administration, over $100 billion had been spent on anti-missile research, with virtually nothing to show for it.
