On July 16, 1982 Shultz was sworn in as the 60th Secretary of State of the United States in the Reagan [[administration]]. He worked to resolve conflicts in the [[Middle East]] and route out international [[terrorism]]. In terms of dealing with the [[Cold War]], he supported Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). At the [[Reykjavík Summit]],  [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] proposed on October 11, 1986 a plan toward multilateral nuclear disarmament that included a halt to SDI but Reagan rejected this condition and thus the proposal in its entirety. Shultz gave Reagan his full support on this decision.<ref>http://www.turmoilandtriumph.org/coldwar/reykjavik_summit.php</ref>

After Reagan's presidency, Shultz became a professor at [[Stanford University]]'s Hoover Institute and Graduate School of Business. In an interview in a 2001 interview about the summit, he was asked: "Peter Robinson: Da. George, was an historic opportunity squandered, we'll put in the passive to include both Gorbachev and Reagan? George Shultz: He didn't say nyet, he said no. Peter Robinson: … and you backed him up. George Shultz: Absolutely."<ref>http://www.hoover.org/research/crack-ice-legacy-reykjavik-summit</ref> Shultz would later talk and write about the [[paradox]] of nuclear deterrence.
