General Graham, who spoke tonite, says within 5 years we can build and deploy a bunch of satellites which will defend against ICBM attacks not by firing LASERs at them but merely by dumping clouds of debris in their paths. Even as small an object as an ice cube, at the relative velocity of an ICBM vs. an intercepting satellite, would pierce the thin shell and knock out the Soviet missile. Afterwards I inquired and he gave me an address I can write to for more info on his proposal. -- If this plan is good, it sounds a lot better than MX or other ideas.
