[Vice President & Speaker His Grace Alexias Stella, The Imperial Commonwealth of Libraria and Ausitoria]
My many thanks to the Speaker, I extend my gratitude to him for his hard work on this very well thought out bill. The Avirani delegation votes for a motion with attachment thus. That Resolution 66 be voted on with inclusion of the plan brought forth by the Secretary General, amended to read that Res. 66 would be exclusive to Council, the Secretary's plan, exclusive to our defense forces, and all parts of either bill that detail a crossover, be struck out.
