“WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush on Tuesday will propose a missile defense system designed to protect American allies, not just the United States, a White House spokesman said Monday in advance of the president’s scheduled address.

President Bush discussed a national missile defense in a CNN interview last week.
The speech will be the springboard for previously announced administration plans to consult with key allies in the spring to overcome skepticism and opposition.”

the article goes on and finishes with
“Bush spoke by telephone Monday with the leaders of four U.S. allies — Germany, France, Canada and Great Britain — and with NATO’s chief general to discuss his proposals, administration officials said. He has not spoken to Russian President Vladmir Putin.”
