OK. Loic. Let's just get the situation under control. Restrict all the "refugees" into a controlled area. We need to have immigration interrog, interview them. Find out who they are and what their refugee claim is? Last I heard there werent' too many Chinese refugees unless they're all claiming to be from that bizarre religious group.

The important thing for now is to make sure none of them slip past our cordon.

Have customs people board the ship make sure nothing else is on that ship. Check the refugee possessions too. Let's make sure first of all there are no weapons on them.

I'll contact Red Cross after we determine there is nothing fishy about this.

FLEA doesn't have enough people there to do all that. I have arranged to deputize some security guards, but all we will be able to do is form a loose cordon. There are significant numbers of North Korean exiles in China, so perhaps some of them want to try their luck here, or perhaps someone is shipping them here trying to distract us or stretch us even thinner. Personally, I always thought we should admit more Haitian refugees, but that can wait. Any chance of getting Rashaad to propose the bill for extra FLEA agents or perhaps just as general emergency appropriation if say nine billion for a term for extra security measures? We have a lot of buildings that wouldn't have stood up as well as the ECB.

I noticed that the Senate passed the Eutopian Pension Reform Act. Per, Rashaad, as MESA, you get to appoint the head of the Pension Control board, that now can have a more active hand in managing our collective retirement plan assets. If you don't have someone immediately in mind, you should probably announce that you are interviewing to fill the position.

Per President, nice contribution to the debate in the townhall. At the Labour conference at CAFTA, the St. Espritan representative took a phone call and said that their parliament had agreed to our invitation to CAFTA, but I haven't read much about that officially, only the earlier bit that the person who was filibustering gave up and and was later poisoned. Maybe you could ask their ambassador to confirm?

Mr. President, I would like your support and that we cooperate on meeting with the Canadians about stopping the lumber dumping, If not first we will raise a small tariff, then contact the WTO. If progress doesnt go well there at first we will put a tariff large enough to force a conclusion of the issue.

Good idea Michael...It's time we put a stop to this once and for all. You have my blessing.

Pers,

I am planning a state visit to Tilapia and St. Esprit. I want to explain VAT to them, see if they'll consider one themselves and also tell them that we will still have a Customs Duty on consumer goods.

Once I'm there,anything you'd like me to bring up with them?

Save me a trip into the Archives. What's the deal with CAFTA? Has Eutopia officially endorsed it? I know St. Esprit has....but have we?

I have asked MIDA to develop some suggestions, which I subseqently reviewed, about bringing our Federal buildings up to a more secure standard, such as the one now used in the US as described at http://www.ccb.org/docs/GSAMAN/mfacstd1.pdf (don't download it for fun as it is a 40 MB document covering every aspect, many beyond security). There are a variety of potential threats, with car/truck bombs and weapons being smuggled in being the two on the top of the list, but missile (or mortar or RPG) and chemical/biological threats should be considered. Obviously, it is easier to build in appropriate protection when the building is being designed than to retrofit it later. For new construction, bringing them up to a higher security standard adds about 4% to the cost of the typical building. The main protection against car and truck bombs is keeping the explosion at some distance from the side of the building and hardening the building. The former is more practical for retrofits, so we should pursue that first. Both are one time costs, requiring little or no ongoing expenditure. For weapons being smuggled in, the best protection is metal detector and x-ray machines, with additional security personnel to man them. This is a modest capital cost, but has higher on-going costs as it is labour intensive.

Hardening the building also offers protection against missile threats, although the parts of a building needed to be hardened can be different. Protection against Chemical and biological agents is primarily through altering the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning) systems.

My staff estimates that there are 155 Federal buildings through out the UPE that should have higher priority. This includes buildings within the rings of steel, but as security works best in layers, I wouldn't want to exclude them. The cost per building vary widely, but an initial estimate for them averages just over three million ducats per building or about a half a billion ducats for increasing the set-backs, slight hardening, and security scanning equipment. This should be added to the budget, at roughly 100 million per ministry, or it could be proposed as part of an omnibus anti-terror bill. Pick a number that you think would pass and we can come up with the details of how best to spend it, between this, more FLEA agents, etc.

The increased security is important. If we introduce an omnibus Bill, though, where we gonna get the cash? I like the 100 mill for each department idea better....damn, can't everybody see why VAT is necessary?

Since there is still opposition to the current VAT, me included, i suggest a smaller tax is proposed and passed with the provision that the assembly must vote on a new tax proposal next term and that this tax is in effect only until a new proposal is voted on.

That this tax be a smaller non-commercial one and all the proceeds from it, or nearly all be spent on the economy. Building up infrastructure supporting local projects, putting more money into R&D etc.

I'm not adverse to that Michael....10 or 15 per cent across the board is fine...with the exemptions currently being presented. However, some of that VAT money is earmarked towards Social Spending. I won't back down from that.

if you want a token bit there fine but if the economy grows, taxes grow and that leads to more money by defult for social programs as well as the military without raising tax rates. just need to keep inflation in check and grow the econ which neither is doing so hot right now.

Loic drops off four of the bullet proof vests in what he guesses are the right sizes for the President, MERL Lundgren, Deputy MERL Ashley, and MESA Rashaad.
"Given the esacalating violence in our country, it might be a good idea if everyone wore these whenever they go out. I have been doing so for a while now.

Oh, and by the way, I am going to start construction on the security improvements for MIDA's buildings, on the assumption that either a budget including it or a specific bill will be passed sometime, unless someone has any objections. I would suggest the other ministries do the same."

Greetings friends. Some things:

1. The commissioner of the independent inquiry has some questions:

phalanx said:
Per President,

I have begun discussion with my chosen members of the Investigation, and we've compiled a few opening requests we'd like to make of your cabinet.

Firstly, we would like to know if FLEA or CIS has uncovered any information on the nature of the explosives used.

And also, we'd like to know if any investigation was done on the matter of the goat that was blown up on a farm. I believe it might be related to the group responsible for the bombing, but there's also a fair chance it's nothing.

Loic...Anything?

2. Let's keep this between us for now.

I got a briefcase from our American friends.

Josephus pulls out a briefcase

There are six envelopes. I opened the first one.

Josephus shows them the envelope's contents.

Envelope 1 said:
1: Key
2: Shipping/Cargo Manifest from Tropicano, voyaging from Havana, Cuba to Hurteau, Eutopia, arriving on Feb. 21st
3: Taped telephone conversation between Felix Castor and unidentified operative based in Argentina.
4: Transcript of Envelope 3.
5: Photographs of suspected and unidentified Cuban operative in Buenos Aires, meeting with known Cuban Secret Service contact.
6: Print-out of travel information of unidentified Cuban operative from envelopes 2-5 showing flight into New Lancaster from Buenos Aires.

Note: Despite the evidence we have been able to acquire, the suspect who appears to be the Friends of Durruti's chief in-country operative has proved exceptionally capable. Upon arrival in the United Provinces of Eutopia we have lost track of the operative. In Buenos Aires we believe he was responsible for the loss of two agents, and proved exceptionally difficult to gather much information on. The information in envelopes 3 and 4 appears to be the exception, and is probably due to Castor's over-confidence in the security of the connection and insistence of the superiority of his own knowledge of fieldcraft. To his credit, our unknown operative did his best to minimize the damage.

We have taken to calling this man the alias he used on his travel papers, an alias that is well constructed and traces back very deep into the official Argentinian authorities' records: Francisco J. Rio.

So...How do we proceed with this info?

Josephus

The independent commission is trying to duplicate the work of FLEA and CIS, which is pointless. I have already asked FLEA to follow up on the goat explosion a while ago. I will address the matter in a message to them.

I have asked FLEA to look into the Harton fuel depot and agricultural explosions. I assume they were targeted to destroy evidence of sources for the bomb-making materials.

We really need more FLEA officers. Could someone introduce a bill to fund them?

So what we gonna do with Olson and Dank? Are they charged with anything? If not, I suggest we let them go.
"They were arrested by local police. FLEA has no interest in Olson, so that is a local matter, in which I have no say. Since Dank is custody, I expect FLEA will want to question him, considering O'Floinn's earlier comments, it would seem impolitic not to. He may have violated Federal Law as well. MGA Rashaad may wish to check himself into a Rehab center, or you might end up with all three ESA MGA's in jail at the same time, which will make it hard to get the VAT passed."

Per President,

I have begun discussion with my chosen members of the Investigation, and we've compiled a few opening requests we'd like to make of your cabinet.

Firstly, we would like to know if FLEA or CIS has uncovered any information on the nature of the explosives used.

And also, we'd like to know if any investigation was done on the matter of the goat that was blown up on a farm. I believe it might be related to the group responsible for the bombing, but there's also a fair chance it's nothing.

I've ordered CIS to assist the FLEA agents at the investigation of the ECB bombing. I have not heard anything from them. I'll ask the head of the CIS.


(OOC: need a NPC... name: Johnson, head of CIS/SAW)
