| Message | Mr. Speaker, We thank the USPH for reviving this bill - which was another version of URB 23. The text of the bill is as follows: "Government Undertaking of a New Defense Organization in the Whole of the Nation (GUNDOWN II) Act of 4425 This bill, if passed, would mandate the Minister of Defense to oversee the creation of a single new national defense corporation with the expressed goal of competing with extant private defense corporations in terms of quality and price. It will not result in the nationalization of a current defense company." We ask for our colleagues to vote yes on this bill. Russell Selwyn MP For Sutton East Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The proposed provision should be included in the bill text. We cannot otherwise vote in approval on a bill that leaves that particular fact up to interpretation. We simply cannot afford to send the wrong signal to the private sector. Norbert Lowell Ambassador of the Scientian Enclave |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We understand the Ambassador's concern and will therefore encourage our friends from the USPH to withdraw this bill and add the legislative language following the upcoming elections. Should that not be possible, we have already written another version and will be ready to push it to the floor for a vote after the election. Russell Selwyn MP For Sutton East Outgoing Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The NLP's bill offers a better alternative, we will vote for that instead. Norbert Lowell Ambassador of the Scientian Enclave |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
