Bush begins his speech with two one-liners, one about his wife's superior speaking talents, and one about having vomited in Japan. He says that the biggest events in our lives are the death of Communism and America's victory in the Cold War. Bush also talks about Kuwait, hostage release, and the Arab-Israeli peace talks. Bush says that the United States is now the sole, preeminent world power. He says that he will shut down the B2 bomber, small ICBM, and other missiles, including cruise missiles. He says he will meet with Boris Yeltsin to eliminate even more arms, and will cut defense spending 30% and no more, and that he will press for SDI, the strategic defense initiative.
