"Recognizing that untold millions of persons of many worlds of the Outer Rim Territories (among them, many humans) live in conditions of poverty, disease, and disenfranchisement, with limited employment and education, limited access to medical services for themselves and their children, and limited economic opportunity to free themselves of these miserable conditions, the Senate hereby resolves to declare the (non-monetary, at this time) support of the Empire for programs that tend to the improvement of the Outer Rim, and the quality of life of its people, and that among the programs worthy of recognition in this noble endeavor are the recent organization for pediatric care established by Senator Ilanah Thanatos of Chandrila, and the "Society for the Improvement of the Outer Rim," established by Senator Sir Reuke Cambrist—both of which are purposed to make a difference in the lives of these benighted persons."

Brentaal, of course, votes in favor. However, I would like to explain to you, Senators, the reference to the "Society for the Improvement of the Outer Rim." I was perusing, recently, Commerce Committee research that suggested the Outer Rim had tremendous, undeveloped economic potential, and it occurred to me that this potential could be instrumental in improving the desperate conditions that are so common to the Outer Rim, whose people suffer too often in anonymity. I resolved, therefore, to establish this Society, its purpose being to gather the greatest minds of the Empire—including, so far, Moff Caglio of the Bormea Sector, the actress and Outer Rim advocate Klorma Draill, and I hope many of you, too, who can expect invitations soon—to devise ways that the Outer Rim can be developed, and the quality of life of its people improved in terms of employment, education, etc., as well as raising awareness of the need for a program of improvement, such as this. I am asking for no government support for this organization, except for this resolution of endorsement to help spread the word of its noble purpose.
