Interview
Hon. Bartolomeo Ciccardini
by Paolo Vitali and Giuseppe Filliponi
The Italian Undersecretary of Defense advocates the development of the space-based defensive laser systems proposed by President Reagan on March 23 to replace nuclear deterrence. Secretary Ciccardini calls these defensive systems a means for genuine progress in an extremely dangerous international situation characterized by the Soviets’ determination to maintain nuclear superiority at any cost and their “theological” fear of Western technological superiority.
