Confirmation of new Cabinet

[Schmitz in 1972]

With 6 votes each, it would appear the Peter Bell, Fritz, and me have been confirmed (With MasterJedi needing only two votes more)

I would like to thank all of the Senators for their confidence in me, I am deeply honored to be given my first important position in the Atlasian government. I would also like to thank the Senators for confirming Bell and Fritz. I know my job will be easier working alongside these two (and hopefully MasterJedi as well)

There is something else I would like to say today, I believe that Reagan should get the position as Secretary of Defense. Reagan has worked for the Atlas since the beginning I believe and has never held a position to my knowledge. It is time we gave him a chance to show his ability to lead the people of Atlasia. When Reagan's namesake ran for president in 1980 some thought he might not be up to the job, but he surprised everyone by showing excellent leadership and helped to end the Cold War. Some of you might think Reagan is not up to the job, but he could surprise you by demonstrating strength you never thought possible.

During my tenure as Secretary I hope to establish firm and warm relationships with the other nations of the world. Working with those I lead, we will make Atlasia a friendly nation which sets an example for others. It is my fervant wish that Atlasia will remain peaceful and will not get caught up in foreign wars unless beyond a doubt they are proven absolutely necessary to protect the liberty enjouyed by our citizens. What I will not do is in any way limit Atlasia's sovereignty by subjecting it to global organizations like the UN. A "New World Order" as nice as it sounds, could be one of the greatest danger to the liberty and freedom of people here in Atlasia. As Secretary of State I will stand firm, listening to your praise as well as your criticism. May God and Dave bless Atlasia as we move forward.
