Your proposal to send relief to the poor, desperate people of the planet Chad is an admirable proposal indeed, and it is one that, we agree, must be passed as soon as possible. However, Governor Oswaldt's proposal with regard to Carratos remains unresolved, and as an issue of Imperial security, I feel that it, too, should be resolved as soon as possible before moving on to other issues. Thus, Senator, as soon as the Carratos proposal is resolved, I will move with all haste to close the vote on your relief proposal and I will do what I must to convince Governor Manning to accept these relief supplies for Chad.

But as you have surely noticed, the Carratos proposal is, in a word, deadlocked. In the interest of moving it along as fast as we may, would you be willing to reconsider your position on the proposal and vote in favor? The people of Chad, I fear, cannot wait. Both they, and His Majesty, would be grateful to you for reconsidering.

Warm regards,
