[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am going to invite the Secretary and if desired the President to speak on this, for I recall some of the discussions, but am not as familiar with the situation as the Secretary would be.

[Don Vito Corleone]

Before we begin, I'd like to apologize to all for the long wait it took to get to this point.

This treaty is one that was negotiated by myself between Atlasia and Latvia. Under the terms of this agreement, Latvia will allow NATO missions use of the base, while allowing Atlasia to build an Atlasia-use only runway and hanger. In exchange, we have agreed to foot much of the cost and to follow certain conditions outlined by the Latvians.

I feel that this is a treaty which benefits Atlasia's interests and that the strings which come attached to it do not outweigh the benefits. Therefore, I urge the passage of this treaty.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So no further responses, concerns, questions?

This is something the NSC and Secretary of State have worked hard on, it has my support and I urge the Senate to pass this.

[tmthforu94]

I call for a final vote on this treaty.
