I think the gentleman is agreeing with me in his earlier comments when he says he is not really interested in deploying in the near term a star wars space-based interceptor system. If that is correct and if that is the view of the majority side, the Republicans in this body, then let us simply accept this amendment and move on. My amendment simply stops star wars. It does not affect space-based sensors. It does not stop the deployment.
