| Message | But when Lourennian citizens return from their trips abroad, they will bring back valuable information and intelligence on foreign lands which we can use for the benefit of the People. We cannot support this. |

| Message | Yes, but that is why we will be issuing passports to some. Not all of them will be spies, ofcourse. We also have spies based in other countries that can supply us with information. If they need to meet one of our spies in person then we can give one a passport or they can come here. Robert Bulliard, LFP Candidate for Internal Affairs |
