SENATE STANDING COMMITTEE: National Security

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Therefore, I am inviting Senator NCYankee, the sponsor; SoEA Kalwejt, Ambassador Cathcon, and President Napoleon to come testify on this legislation.

I find this outrageous to mention the President at the very end. The President outranks all of these individuals mentioned and should be mentioned in the very first place.

I cannot and will not testify before a body that shows no respect to the Presidency

Senators, I'll gladly discuss the new developments regarding Iran with you.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Thank you, Senator.

The Foreign Minister of Iran and I agreed to open liaison offices in our respective capitals. Although our agreement does not constitute establishing an official diplomatic relations, these officer are going to operate under diplomatic laws.

I believe that previously used backroom channels are simply no longer sufficient to deal with the issue of Iran. Naturally, there are a lot of disagreements between our countries that must be settled down before we can think of establishing normal relations.

A promise to maintain a permanent, direct contacts between our governments is the only commitment we are taking right now. We do understand any other commitments would require informed consent of the Senate and I'm hoping to work along with you on this issue.

Last, but not least, the Foreign Minister agreed to my suggestion that a delegation of Atlasian Senators may visit Tehran as a  fact finding team.

I'll gladly respond to detailed questions, if you have some, gentlemen.

I want to add that the Department of External Affairs, while is ready to consider a lot of issues during, hopefully incoming, talks, will not compromise on Israel's right to existence.

Mr. Secretary,

Regarding Syria, should Atlasia get involved in providing an active humanitarian help to the refugees?

Mr. Secretary,

Regarding Syria, should Atlasia get involved in providing an active humanitarian help to the refugees?

We have provided aid resources to the Jordanian-based refugee camps. Was there anything in particular, in addition to that, you'd like to suggest?

What about resources to the Turkish-based refugee camps?
