If I may make a suggestion, Madame Witness. The Senate and even the Imperator have made drastic cuts in order to help weather these tough economic times. Frankly, I\u2019m not willing to endanger any more services or lower the already low standards for our Citizens and Civilians who are toiling every day to help support this empire. I think we should pass the weight of this financial burden onto the High Command. I know it\u2019s not popular to say, but the military has been claiming funds as if it were a time of war.

Military Intel reported that a Vanduul clan savaged Tiber II last week.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): We haven\u2019t maintained a presence in Tiber for years so they can tear that place up as much as they want. The truth is, Vanduul raids against our systems have been declining, but the military\u2019s research departments have been pulling the same funds for almost eight years now. I don\u2019t see where these funds are going except to maintain their status quo. Therefore, I think it\u2019s only fair that they take a hard look at their infrastructure and make cutbacks like the rest of us.\n\nOf course, it will be difficult, it will be unpopular, but we all need to do more with less. That\u2019s the financial climate that we\u2019re trying to weather and everybody has to contribute if we\u2019re going to pull through.\n\n<scattered applause>\n\nWITNESS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Earth-Sol Sys): If you would be willing to draft the bill, I will present it to the Imperator for review after it passes Senate approval.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Of course, Madame Witness.\n\nWITNESS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Earth-Sol Sys): Then we will postpone the deadline for committee review until your bill has been submitted.

Die Sitzung 38 des 396. UEE-Kongresses wird hiermit wieder aufgenommen. Wenn Sie sich setzen, wird der Sachbearbeiter einen Anruf einleiten.\n\n<lange Pause>>\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Wir sind beschlussf\u00e4hig und k\u00f6nnen nun Gesch\u00e4fte t\u00e4tigen. Wenn jemand neue Gesetze haben sollte, erheben Sie sich bitte und lassen Sie sich h\u00f6ren.\n\n<Pause>\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Da es keine neuen Gesch\u00e4fte gibt, werden wir mit unserer geplanten Aussprache fortfahren. Der Boden erkennt den ehrenwerten Zeugen Cavendash von der Erde.\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Danke, Herr Pr\u00e4sident. Sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen des Senats, wir n\u00e4hern uns einem weiteren Umsatz im Finanzzyklus, und leider ist es wieder an der Zeit, uns ernsthafte Fragen zu den Ausgaben im Haushalt zu stellen.\n\n<eindeutiges Geschw\u00e4tz>\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Ja, ja, ja, ich wei\u00df. Die Lieblingszeit aller Menschen im Jahr.\n\n<leichtes Lachen>\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Nach sorgf\u00e4ltigen \u00dcberpr\u00fcfungen mit den Analysten der verschiedenen Unteraussch\u00fcsse sowie den Vertretern der Finanzaufsicht m\u00fcssen wir weitere drei Prozent einsparen.\n\n<eindeutiges Geschw\u00e4tz>\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Ruhe, bitte.\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Drei Prozent Rabatt auf das Gesamtbudget.\n\n<lautere undeutliche Ger\u00e4usche>>\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Ja, Mr. Harren.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U-Kampos-Ellis Sys): Frau Zeugin, es f\u00e4llt mir schwer zu glauben, dass wir bei all den Steuererh\u00f6hungen und sogar beim Verkauf von Bergbaurechten, die ich selbst auf die privaten Rohstoffindustrien verteilt habe, immer noch Geld verlieren.\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Ja, Mr. Harren, wir alle sind mit Ihren Leistungen in letzter Zeit sehr vertraut.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U-Kampos-Ellis Sys): Danke, Madame -\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Aber nein, es ist nicht genug.\n\n<Unidentified Voice> Was gibt Costigan auf?\n\n<ged\u00e4mpfter Applaus>>\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Ich versichere Ihnen, das B\u00fcro des Imperators ist sich der Situation wohl bewusst und wird seinen Plan f\u00fcr geplante K\u00fcrzungen vorlegen. Wir werden den Haushalt an jeden der Aussch\u00fcsse zur\u00fcckschicken, um weitere K\u00fcrzungen vorzunehmen. Die Zielvorgaben f\u00fcr die Mindestausgaben werden auf Ausschussbasis festgelegt.\n\n<unbekanntes Rauschen>\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Der Vorsitzende w\u00fcrdigt den ehrenwerten Senator von Angeli.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Danke, Herr Pr\u00e4sident. Wenn ich einen Vorschlag machen darf, Madame Witness. Der Senat und sogar der Imperator haben drastische K\u00fcrzungen vorgenommen, um in diesen wirtschaftlich schwierigen Zeiten zu helfen. Ehrlich gesagt, bin ich nicht bereit, weitere Dienstleistungen zu gef\u00e4hrden oder die ohnehin schon niedrigen Standards f\u00fcr unsere B\u00fcrger und Zivilisten zu senken, die jeden Tag arbeiten, um zur Unterst\u00fctzung dieses Reiches beizutragen. Ich denke, wir sollten das Gewicht dieser finanziellen Belastung auf das Oberkommando \u00fcbertragen. Ich wei\u00df, dass es nicht popul\u00e4r ist zu sagen, aber das Milit\u00e4r hat Gelder eingefordert, als ob es eine Zeit des Krieges w\u00e4re. Die Vanduul-Angriffe sind gescheitert -\n\nSenator PETER B. HARTWELL (C-Selene-Vega Sys): Es tut mir leid, aber ist das v\u00f6llig korrekt, Senator? Military Intel berichtete, dass ein Vanduul-Clan letzte Woche Tiber II verwildert hat.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Wir sind seit Jahren nicht mehr im Tiber pr\u00e4sent, so dass sie diesen Ort so oft zerrei\u00dfen k\u00f6nnen, wie sie wollen. Die Wahrheit ist, dass die \u00dcberf\u00e4lle von Vanduul auf unsere Systeme r\u00fcckl\u00e4ufig sind, aber die Forschungsabteilungen des Milit\u00e4rs ziehen seit fast acht Jahren die gleichen Mittel. Ich sehe nicht, wohin diese Mittel gehen, au\u00dfer um ihren Status quo aufrechtzuerhalten. Deshalb denke ich, dass es nur fair ist, dass sie einen genauen Blick auf ihre Infrastruktur werfen und K\u00fcrzungen vornehmen, wie der Rest von uns.\n\nNat\u00fcrlich wird es schwierig sein, es wird unbeliebt sein, aber wir alle m\u00fcssen mit weniger mehr erreichen. Das ist das finanzielle Klima, das wir versuchen zu \u00fcberstehen, und jeder muss dazu beitragen, wenn wir es schaffen wollen.\n\n<verstreuter Applaus>>\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Wenn Sie bereit w\u00e4ren, den Gesetzentwurf zu verfassen, werde ich ihn dem Imperator zur \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung vorlegen, nachdem er die Genehmigung des Senats erteilt hat.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Nat\u00fcrlich, Madame Witwe.\n\nZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Erd-Sol Sys): Dann verschieben wir die Frist f\u00fcr die Pr\u00fcfung durch den Ausschuss auf die Einreichung Ihrer Rechnung. Mr. Speaker, ich gebe den Rest meiner Zeit nach.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Danke, Madame Witwe. Es sei denn, es gibt einen Widerspruch, werden wir Ihrem Antrag auf Verschiebung und Vertagung f\u00fcr einen privaten Anwalt bez\u00fcglich des von Senator Polo vorgeschlagenen Gesetzes folgen.\n\nEingegebene Verschiebung: 13:01 Uhr\n\n\n>>\n\nTRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH","zh_CN":"UEE CONGRESS (396.38)\n\n2943.6.18 SET\n\nSession AutoScript\n\nProofed and Admitted \u2013 Archivist Yates (#57573BDF)\n< 12:45pm \u2013 Session Begins\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Good afternoon, everyone.
