Quote:Things come up, domestically, economically, internationally, and with respect to national security.  Obviously want to be ready for whatever fate throws our way.  Opportunities and challenges.
 
With that said, two things hope to have time to give emphasis to.  In Dunlake the government is helping give a push to electric cars and trucks for individual and family use. Very much want to expand this project.
 
Second, believe time is ripe to build an oil refinery on Ikradun Island.  We are in touch with Qat Oil Services, the long established Majatran petroleum services company, and are looking to involve some others with recognized expertise.
 
Believe this will keep us busy for my fifth and final term as Chancellor.

Quote:We have been looking to build an oil refinery on Ikradun Island which is jointly owned by Ikradon and the Bundeesrepublik.  We have been making plans with Qat Oil Services, an international company that has operations in Majatra and Seleya.
 
The Chancellor’s Office has also been in contact with the Government of the King and Kaiser about arranging for engineering and technical expertise from Northern Oil, and today we can announce Northern Oil will be assisting in the project with its expertise.
 
Also assisting will be Majaran Refining Company which has interlocking directorships with Qat Oil Services which recommended its help.
 
Inselveredelung, AG (IVAG), will be the owner with all shares initially owned by Importundernehmen der Bundesrepublik (IdB), the Bundesrepublik’s federally owned import corporation, but IVAG shares will be sold on the stock exchange which will have the potential for privatizing the enterprise. If things go well, IdB will be expected to retain about 10% so it could move back in if necessary.
 

The oil refinery will be a sprawling complex with extensive piping carrying streams of fluids between chemical processing units such as distillation columns. It will also have storage depots for the incoming crude oil and for the refined products. Some products can be used once impurities and contaminants are removed. Others are created by fluid catalytic cracking or hydro catalytic cracking. Others are formed from intermediate products by catalytic reforming and by devolatilization.

 
We will be concerned with occupational and environmental safety.  Spills and leaks can catastrophically affect marine life. Safety and protecting the environment are more important than speed or volume.  The Government  will be regulating and inspecting operations to prevent such mishaps and seeing to it that procedures are in place should a mistake occur to contain resultant problems.
 
A second concern is waste from oil refineries. The water will be protected and the waste disposed of properly..  Again the Government will be responsible for regulation and oversight.
 
We will not be doing liquefied natural gas so revaporizing in offshore terminal facilities with an open loop system will not be in play. To avoid threats to marine life when warm seawater is returned after hyper cooling, if production of liquefied natural gas is ever initiated,  a closed loop system would be used.

Quote:No, that was not what we were talking about.  The DSU has been very concerned that although there is clearly a left of center majority in the Bundestag, the ruling coalition seems to always include right of center parties.
 
What Karl-Heinrich and I were discussing was whether DRF could craft its demands so they conceivably could enter a governing coalition at some point in the future. We aimed at whether DRF’s opposition to monarchy and private ownership of the means of production could be expressed as having the right to remain in a  coalition although voting against any new treaties or trade agreements with monarchies and voting for nationalization over privatization whenever it came up.
 
Also what Ministries would be attractive to the DRF as well as any bills it might want in order to be a part of a governing coalition such as the education reform legislation sponsored by Grüne Partei für den Planeten (GPP).
 
Karl-Heinrich believes the DRF membership will buy the idea and will get back to me. 
 
With respect to your original question, the DSU and DRF split did cause some hard feelings and recrimination, and I think we are ready to move past that and work together on common goals.

Despite Little Change in Votes, Election Brings Change to Dundorf

New DSDP Leader Lennard Schneider with the historical former Leader and Chancellor Jorg Berger.

Quote:Chancellor Erica Kleinfelder’s Office has been in discussions with the Luthorian Government about easing travel and immigration restrictions between our two nations. 
 
Think it is fair to say most all parties are in favor of this but there is no doubt tucked away in legislation from some of our more isolationist and xenophobic periods there are administrative holdovers on forms, in regulations and in procedural guides that unnecessarily hinder free  travel and immigration between us. 
 
The Justice Ministry is reviewing likely legislation but frankly subsequent legislation has cured almost all outdated statutory impediments.
 
But what is in the forms and instructions?  Doubt if it is too bad but I am today ordering a review by the Border Guard Leadership of the forms, regulations and instructions concerning Luthori citizens entering the Bundesrepublik.
 
The report should be comprehensive as to Luthori citizens but redundant requirements applicable to all entering the Bundesrepublik should lead to recommended revocation should they be revealed by the review.
 
Since the Kleinfelder Administration is days if not hours away from replacement by the Schneider Administration, the report on this review should be delivered to my successor.

Quote:Bundesprasident Karlotte Teitelbaum called on Lennard Schneider, the new Leader of Dundorf Sozialdemokratische Partei (DSDP), to form a governing coalition which he has done.
 
DSDP is joined by DSU, Grune Partei fur den Planeten (GPP) and Dundorfische Rote Front (DRF).
 
Lennard Schneider is now Bundeskanzler while DSDP has three other ministries. GPP’s Julia Zuckerfeld is now Finance Minister, and GPP has three other ministries. DRF’s Karl- Heinrich Muller is Interior Minister, and DRF has two other ministries.
 
I will be Foreign Minister while DSU has two other ministers.  This is our first Grosse-Linke-Koalition in some time, and DSU is committed to working with our coalition partners to make it a success.
 
Our own thinking is the two key factors making it possible are our reconciliation with DRF and Chancellor Schneider leading DSDP in a more progressive direction.
