Ronald Reagan was the President. I actually watched his Oval Office speech about this. As a 15 year old who was scared of nuclear weapons, it sounded great. Now as a 40 year old who knows better, it really sounds really stupid.

President Ronald Reagan. The SDI has been modified by each succeeding president since. In 1993, SDI was reorganized as the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO). The more limited system, called the National Missile Defense (NMD), is intended to protect all 50 states from a rogue missile attack. In 2002, President Bush ordered the deployment of a modest missile defense system by 2004, with interceptors based at sea and at Fort Greely, Alaska, and Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., and several interceptor missiles were emplaced by the end of 2004. Also in 2002, the BMDO was renamed the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). In addition to NMD, the MDA is also working to develop missile defenses for the battlefield as part of the Theater Missile Defense program.
