Session 32 of the 396th UEE Congress is hereby called to order. If you will take your seats, the clerk will run a roll.\n\n<long pause>\n\nI have been informed that we have a quorum and may now conduct business. We will begin with the introduction of new legislation; please stand and be recognized.\n\nThe Chair recognizes the honorable Senator Hartwell.\n\nSENATOR PETER B. HARTWELL (C-Vega Sys): Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If it pleases the Chamber, I have posted a copy of my proposed bill into the hopper, Legislation #14467-BL, if you would like to see the exactly how I plan to implement the changes \u2026 Excuse me, I\u2019m getting ahead of myself.\n\nWhen our civilization began to push out into the universe, there was a healthy fear of the unknown. That fear grew when we discovered that we weren\u2019t alone, louder still when we learned that there were things out there to be rightfully afraid of.\n\nSo we built sentry systems, carriers and checkpoints to ease that fear. To keep a careful eye on the borders into our territory to make sure that the fear couldn\u2019t get in. Somewhere along the line, we stopped being afraid. I think that was a mistake.\n\nA healthy fear can be a sign of pragmatism. It\u2019s an acknowledgement that there is danger out there. It leads to a desire to maintain and improve the security measures that we\u2019ve installed so we can continue to keep the danger at bay.\n\nLegislation #14467, or First Line as my staff has titled it, earmarks a higher percentage of the next budget cycle to be allocated towards a complete overhaul of our border security protocols. There are two main sections to the bill: Current Systems and Future Endeavors.\n\nCurrent Systems examines the various countermeasures already in place along Vanduul, Xi\u2019An and Banu borders to assess how and if each system should be improved.\n\nFor example, in 2925, the Chimera TX-4 CommAlert Nets were a revelation in our ability to monitor systems for roving Vanduul flagships. These nets of drones have remained more or less unchanged since then. The Vanduul, and even local criminal elements, have learned how to access and dismantle the systems, forcing the military to repeatedly hand-check each one to make sure it is still capable of sending an alert.\n\nThat\u2019s such a compromise of security that one could hardly call these countermeasures with a straight face.\n\nSENATOR WARDEN VOL (T-Goss Sys): Shouldn\u2019t this fall under the military\u2019s jurisdiction?\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Please refrain from questions during the introduction of the bill.\n\nSENATOR PETER B. HARTWELL (C-Vega Sys): Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To quickly address the honorable Senator\u2019s question, the cost and maintenance is an infrastructure issue but technically it\u2019s a joint line in the budget.\n\nMoving on, the Future Endeavors section of the bill calls for an increased allocation of funds to go towards developing new communication and scanning technology. Few would argue that one of the main reasons that the Vanduul are still effectively raiding settlements in our territory is our inability to quickly respond to their attacks.\n\nOn the other side of the UEE, pirates and smugglers are beating our systems as they successfully transport contraband. Again, if a system only catches the amateur or the ill-informed, it hardly qualifies as a security measure.\n\nWe\u2019re proposing investments to the R&D departments of corporations that specialize in the communication and scan technology. We found that in a cost-analysis, it was cheaper to look to the private sector compared to setting up facilities of our own.\n\nIn summary, there are many aspects of our government that are up for healthy and vigorous debate, but the safety of our populace is not one of them. Right now our current system is failing them. We could do better. We need to do better.\n\nIf it pleases you, Mr. Speaker, I would like to limit the questions to give the Congress the opportunity to read and process the intricacies of the bill.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Any opposition to the Senator\u2019s request?\n\nSENATOR WARDEN VOL (T-Goss Sys): I\u2019m sorry, Mr. Speaker, if I may ask one question. Is there a section in this bill that outlines where you expect to obtain the money for the implementation of the bill? Not only that, does the honorable Senator outline a method on how to unveil this new plan to the public? A public, I might add, that has become more and more vocal about their discontent, especially regarding the current economic strain.\n\nSENATOR PETER B. HARTWELL (C-Vega Sys): Mr. Senator, that is not a simple or quick answer, hence my request. In short, it requires restructuring the budgetary allotments for a variety of other government services, but I beg you to save your entirely valid questions until the legislation is presented for debate in earnest.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Will you defer you question, Senator Vol?\n\nSENATOR WARDEN VOL (T-Goss Sys): I defer.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Legislation #14467 will be entered into the registry and a date will be set to open debate on the floor. Are there any more presentations of new legislation? Stand and be recognized.\n\n<pause>\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Moving on, we will now hear reports of standing commissions.\n\n\n>>\n\nTRANSCRIPT BREAK","de_DE":"UEE-Kongress (396.32)\n\n2942.2.5.5 SET\n\nSession AutoScript\n\nGepr\u00fcft und zugelassen - Archivar Yates (#57573BDF)\n\n< 13:37 Uhr - Die Sitzung beginnt.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Guten Tag zusammen. Die Sitzung 32 des 396. UEE-Kongresses wird hiermit zur Ordnung gerufen. Wenn du dich hinsetzt, wird der Angestellte eine Rolle spielen.\n\n<lange Pause>>\n\nMir wurde mitgeteilt, dass wir beschlussf\u00e4hig sind und nun Gesch\u00e4fte t\u00e4tigen k\u00f6nnen. Wir werden mit der Einf\u00fchrung neuer Gesetze beginnen; bitte bleiben Sie stehen und werden Sie anerkannt.\n\nDer Vorsitzende w\u00fcrdigt den ehrenwerten Senator Hartwell.\n\nSenator PETER B. HARTWELL (C-Vega Sys): Danke, Herr Pr\u00e4sident. Wenn es dem Plenum gef\u00e4llt, habe ich eine Kopie meines Gesetzesvorschlags in den Trichter, Gesetzgebung #14467-BL, gepostet, wenn Sie sehen m\u00f6chten, wie ich die \u00c4nderungen umsetzen will... Entschuldigen Sie, ich bin mir selbst einen Schritt voraus.\n\nAls unsere Zivilisation anfing, in das Universum vorzudringen, gab es eine gesunde Angst vor dem Unbekannten. Diese Angst wuchs, als wir entdeckten, dass wir nicht allein waren, noch lauter, als wir erfuhren, dass es da drau\u00dfen Dinge gab, vor denen wir zu Recht Angst haben mussten.\n\nDeshalb haben wir Wachsysteme, Tr\u00e4ger und Kontrollpunkte gebaut, um diese Angst zu lindern. Ein wachsames Auge auf die Grenzen in unserem Gebiet zu haben, um sicherzustellen, dass die Angst nicht eindringen konnte. Irgendwo auf der Linie h\u00f6rten wir auf, Angst zu haben. Ich denke, das war ein Fehler.\n\nEine gesunde Angst kann ein Zeichen von Pragmatismus sein. Es ist ein Eingest\u00e4ndnis, dass es da drau\u00dfen gef\u00e4hrlich ist. Es f\u00fchrt zu dem Wunsch, die von uns installierten Sicherheitsma\u00dfnahmen aufrechtzuerhalten und zu verbessern, damit wir die Gefahr weiterhin in Schach halten k\u00f6nnen.\n\nDie Gesetzgebung #14467 oder First Line, wie meine Mitarbeiter sie genannt haben, sieht einen h\u00f6heren Prozentsatz des n\u00e4chsten Haushaltszyklus vor, der f\u00fcr eine vollst\u00e4ndige \u00dcberarbeitung unserer Grenzsicherheitsprotokolle bereitgestellt wird. Die Rechnung besteht aus zwei Hauptabschnitten: Aktuelle Systeme und zuk\u00fcnftige Entwicklungen.\n\nCurrent Systems untersucht die verschiedenen Gegenma\u00dfnahmen, die bereits an den Grenzen von Vanduul, Xi'An und Banu ergriffen wurden, um zu beurteilen, wie und ob jedes System verbessert werden sollte.\n\nSo waren beispielsweise die Chimera TX-4 CommAlert Netze im Jahr 2925 eine Offenbarung f\u00fcr unsere F\u00e4higkeit, Systeme zur \u00dcberwachung von Vanduul-Flagschiffen zu \u00fcberwachen. Diese Drohnennetze sind seither mehr oder weniger unver\u00e4ndert geblieben. Die Vanduul und sogar lokale kriminelle Elemente haben gelernt, wie man auf die Systeme zugreift und sie demontiert, was das Milit\u00e4r zwingt, jedes einzelne immer wieder von Hand zu \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen, um sicherzustellen, dass es noch in der Lage ist, einen Alarm auszusenden.\n\nDas ist ein solcher Kompromiss der Sicherheit, dass man diese Gegenma\u00dfnahmen kaum mit einem klaren Gesicht bezeichnen k\u00f6nnte.\n\nSENATOR WARDEN VOL (T-Goss Sys): Sollte das nicht unter die Zust\u00e4ndigkeit des Milit\u00e4rs fallen?\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Bitte verzichten Sie bei der Einf\u00fchrung der Rechnung auf Fragen.\n\nSenator PETER B. HARTWELL (C-Vega Sys): Danke, Herr Pr\u00e4sident. Um die ehrenwerte Frage des Senators schnell anzusprechen, sind die Kosten und die Wartung eine Infrastrukturausgabe, aber technisch ist es eine gemeinsame Linie im Etat.\n\nIm Abschnitt Future Endeavors des Gesetzentwurfs wird eine erh\u00f6hte Mittelausstattung f\u00fcr die Entwicklung neuer Kommunikations- und Scantechnologien gefordert. Nur wenige w\u00fcrden behaupten, dass einer der Hauptgr\u00fcnde daf\u00fcr, dass die Vanduul immer noch effektiv Siedlungen in unserem Gebiet \u00fcberfallen, unsere Unf\u00e4higkeit ist, schnell auf ihre Angriffe zu reagieren.\n\nAuf der anderen Seite der UEE schlagen Piraten und Schmuggler unsere Systeme, w\u00e4hrend sie erfolgreich Schmuggelware transportieren. Auch hier gilt: Wenn ein System nur den Amateur oder den Schlechtinformierten f\u00e4ngt, ist es kaum als Sicherheitsma\u00dfnahme geeignet.\n\nWir schlagen Investitionen f\u00fcr die F&E-Abteilungen von Unternehmen vor, die sich auf die Kommunikations- und Scan-Technologie spezialisiert haben. Wir haben festgestellt, dass es bei einer Kostenanalyse billiger war, auf den Privatsektor zu setzen, als eigene Einrichtungen zu errichten.\n\nZusammenfassend l\u00e4sst sich sagen, dass es viele Aspekte unserer Regierung gibt, die f\u00fcr eine gesunde und energische Debatte bereit sind, aber die Sicherheit unserer Bev\u00f6lkerung ist nicht einer davon. Im Moment versagt unser aktuelles System. Wir k\u00f6nnten es besser machen. Wir m\u00fcssen es besser machen.\n\nWenn es Ihnen gef\u00e4llt, Herr Pr\u00e4sident, m\u00f6chte ich die Fragen begrenzen, um dem Kongress die M\u00f6glichkeit zu geben, die Feinheiten des Gesetzes zu lesen und zu verarbeiten.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Irgendwelche Einw\u00e4nde gegen die Bitte des Senators?\n\nSENATOR WARDEN VOL (T-Goss Sys): Es tut mir leid, Mr. Speaker, wenn ich eine Frage stellen darf. Gibt es einen Abschnitt in diesem Gesetzentwurf, der umrei\u00dft, wo Sie erwarten, das Geld f\u00fcr die Umsetzung des Gesetzentwurfs zu erhalten? Nicht nur das, umrei\u00dft der ehrenwerte Senator eine Methode auf, wie man diesen neuen Plan zur \u00d6ffentlichkeit freilegt? Eine \u00d6ffentlichkeit, die, wie ich hinzuf\u00fcgen m\u00f6chte, immer mehr \u00fcber ihre Unzufriedenheit spricht, insbesondere \u00fcber die aktuelle wirtschaftliche Belastung.\n\nSenator PETER B. HARTWELL (C-Vega Sys): Herr Senator, das ist keine einfache oder schnelle Antwort, daher meine Bitte. Kurz gesagt, es bedarf einer Umstrukturierung der Haushaltszuweisungen f\u00fcr eine Vielzahl anderer Regierungsdienste, aber ich bitte Sie, Ihre v\u00f6llig berechtigten Fragen aufzubewahren, bis die Gesetzgebung ernsthaft zur Debatte gestellt wird.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Wirst du deine Frage verschieben, Senator Vol.\n\nSENATOR WARDEN VOL (T-Goss Sys): Ich schiebe mich zur\u00fcck.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Die Gesetzgebung #14467 wird in das Register eingetragen und ein Termin f\u00fcr eine offene Debatte auf dem Podium festgelegt. Gibt es noch weitere Pr\u00e4sentationen neuer Gesetze? Stehen und erkannt werden.\n\n<Pause>\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Nun zu den Berichten \u00fcber die st\u00e4ndigen Provisionen.\n\n\n>>\n\nTRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH","zh_CN":"UEE Congress (396.32)\n\n2942.2.5 SET\n\nSession AutoScript\n\nProofed and Admitted \u2013 Archivist Yates (#57573BDF)\n< 1:37pm \u2013 Session Begins\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Magnus Sys): Good afternoon everyone.
