| Message | We are in favor of limiting arms sales, but strongly opposed to a ban on the research of atomic weaponry. We will vote no as the measure stands. |

| Message | The research into atomic weaponry is so that we may better understand and fight it when it is used against us. Although the LLP agrees with the limiting of Arm Sales, we cannot in good faith support the nuclear ban article. (Perhaps the GU can split the bill? Seeing as two of the parties now are willing to support one of your articles) |
