Abstract:
This petition expresses the concerns of scientists and engineers about the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) commonly known as "Star Wars". It maintains that statements from the Reagan administration give an erroneous impression of virtually unanimous support for the initiative from the scientific and technological community, while the program has actually grown without the appropriate technological and policy scrutiny.
