| Message | Senators, We support the ban on weapons of mass destruction, but we do not agree with the proposal to require the government to build shelters throughout the nation. The current proposal, where every building is required to include civil defense, no matter who builds it, we feel is more appropriate. Rebecca Clodia Pastor Senatrix |
