| Message | As the Falls Party agrees with the distinguished members of the BCD on issue of cutting waste, we propose to end the costly practive of overseeing every 'fly-by-night' company that has a proposal for space exploration and simply issue permits(revenue) once a capacity for exploration is achieved further regulations and oversight can be applied. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr speaker, The Defenders are wholeheartedly in favour of the spirit of this bill. It wording, however, does cause us some concern: this word "federal" keeps cropping up in bills, but we not the Valruzian Federation - we are the Holy Luthori Empire. As such to appropriate term would be Imperial, or Holy Imperial if we wish be be very specific (such as the Holy Imperial Navy/Marines/Air Force). I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We cannot support this bill. We support both science and exploration. We feel this bill will end up impeding those efforts. I yield the floor. |

| Message | To the Rt. Hon Representative from the Secular Party we feel that given the current lack of Imperial study on the issue of Space exploration the current system is stagnant and wasteful. Given that budgetary expenditures must be reduced we feel that allowing the private sector to run at this problem full bore without over sight will be the best to expedite progress. Barring that, a significant tax increase and creating an Imperial Space Program. Since I stand knowing that my party would serve me my head for proposing a tax increase of the magnitude required to launch an Imperial Space Program I choose the former. I yield the floor. |
