| Message | Mr Speaker, We cannot vote for this bill because of Articles 1, 2 and 3. We feel that the government should have some say in the oversight and management of our national parks, libraries and museums. We however do agree with Article 4 and are willing to vote for it if proposed in a separate bill. Alan Landis UPR Congressional Leader |
