EMERGENCY SRPA BUDGETARY REQUEST

Sponsored by the Congressional Committee for National Safety Approved by the Executive Branch Seeking Final Ratification in the House of Representatives

September 3rd, 1951

Article 1.1 Due to the terrifying attacks on American soil beginning August 14th of this year, President Grace has approved the construction of a Liberty Defense Perimeter to span no less than 4,500 miles in length. This will be a barrier that links several hundred defense towers, each equipped with high-powered weaponry and state-of-the-art invasion detection technology.

Article 1.2 The surveying for said Perimeter has already been completed through the concreted efforts of military and civilian forces, working in conjunction with the Special Research Projects Agency over the past two years.

Article 1.3 In order to break ground, we must immediately allocate 200 million U.S. dollars in additional funding for the Liberty Defense Perimeter. The first leg of the fortress will be located along the northern quadrant of the nation, set back approximately 300 miles from the Canadian border. This gives us a buffer zone of acceptable loss and provides us the time we need to properly construct the LDP. Contrary to popular demand, the Perimeter will not encompass thte coastal regions of America, as they are too disparate to be effectively sealed off from the threat of outside aggressors.

Article 1.4 Voting on these new budgetary demands must take place immediately after all articles have been read aloud on the floor of the House. In the event that it does not pass, measures will be put into place which allow the executive branch supreme veto powers in order to circumvent any opposition to the construction of the Liberty Defense Perimeter.
