泰勒博士认为美国应重视弹道导弹防御系统的研制和部署工作,以便充分利用美国明显领先于苏联的电子技术,特别是信息处理技术。 泰勒（斯丹福特大学胡佛研究所高级研究员）赞成部署MX先进洲际弹道导弹,但他反对卡特当局所同意的水平式掩体基地方案。这位在研制氢弹过程中发挥过作用的泰勒,赞成搞一个保卫MX和民兵导弹的反导系统。他说苏联可能在弹道导弹防御方面大大超过美国,“那样的话将使我们处于非常不利的地位。”他还说“一旦苏联有了一个实战用的良好的弹道 Dr. Taylor believes that the United States should attach importance to the development and deployment of the ballistic missile defense system in order to take full advantage of the United States clearly ahead of the Soviet Union’s electronic technology, especially information technology. Tyler, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, was in favor of deploying the MX Advanced Intercontinental Ballistic Missile but opposed the horizontal bunker base scheme agreed by the Carter authorities. The Taylor, who played a role in the development of the hydrogen bomb, favored an anti-missile system to defend MX and militia missiles. He said that the Soviet Union may greatly surpass the United States in terms of ballistic missile defense. “That would put us in a very disadvantageous position.” He added: "Once the Soviet Union has a good ballistic trajectory
