Reagan Asks For Money

The members of the Congress gathered in session. Their agenda had been set aside temporarily at the request of the President.

With the live television cameras rolling, the President was escorted in by the Sergeant of the Guard.

Taking the podium he shuffled his notes and began his remarks.

"My fellow Americans, there is a great a plague on humankind. A plague called communism. Communism is an evil and repressive form of government and it is the policy of the United States to oppose communism whereever it may spring up. Communist forces have taken to attacking a small and new nation for the supposed crime of taking a stand against communism. It is America's policy to protect new nations from being attacked by large nations or anti newb alliances. Albalast has taken a stand against communism. Though they have said they supported military invasions to accomplish this goal, they have threatened no one directly. Further, Albalast had no ability and has no ability to attack another nation. The nations attacking Albalast are intent on forcing communism on this tiny country. Since the outbreak of hostilities, I have directed the Secretary of State to dispatch aid to Albalast to assist them in defending themselves against hostile communist aggression. Let the actions taken against tiny Albalast leave no doubt that the world's communists have one goal: world conquest. It is America's job to stop them.
America is a peaceful nation. We seek to end communism around the world by supporting peaceful prodemocratic movements.
But tonight, the light of freedom may be extinguished in Albalast, therefore, I have taken the extroadinary step of pledging $100 billion in emergency aid to Albalast. Because of the high amount, you need to give your consent or this aid cannot be delivered. Therefore, I ask you for $100 billion to support the free nation of Albalast.
The stakes are high, communist nations have announced an illegal blockade of a noncommunist nation. As the Commander in Cheif of this nation and as the defender of free societies everywhere, I can not allow that blockade to stand. The Ryou Black Islands must not harass any American vessels carrying on business with Albalast. America will not send troops into this war, but should American ships or aircraft be fired upon or be threatened by Ryou or Ryou allies, America will have no choice but to defend its interests.
America has no intention of going invading Ryou. But Ryou must pull out of Albalast. Whether America sends troops to directly support Albalast freedom and indpendence is entirely up to the actions of the Ryou government.
America may not be the most powerful nation in the world, but Americans are uniquely willing to sacrifice all in the name of honor and freedom."

There was a standing ovation as the President left the room at the end of his request.
Within a few hours, emergency debate began in Congress over whether to approve the request for the unprecedented amount of aid promised to Albalast. Meantime, the Commerce Deparment cut a check for the previously promised amount and wired it to Albalast.

Congressman David House of Puerto Rico has introduced a bill to approve $100 billion in cash aid to Albalast. Included in his bill, at the request of Housemember Greg Vinocich of California and farm state Congressmembers are substantial allocations of food aid for Albalast worth about $80 billion. The additional aid would be in the form of food and medicine. The bill provides a measure that any hostile attack on or harrassment of American ships carrying the food or medicine would be considered a direct act of war against the United States, and urged the President to use frigates to escort each aid ship.

OOC: wanted to clarify, if Albalast invades Ryou or anyone else, the opposing party in Congress will filibuster that 100 bill aid bill to death.
But if Ryou attacks an American ship, US will send troops to help Albalast.

Stoklomolvi protests this act of violation in neutrality of the United States of America. Stoklomolvi currently has taken no action against Albalast, nor vice versa. The Ryou Black Island has committed an act beyond description in invading Albalast when Albalast did absolutely nothing other than issue a vague declaration of war. Hence, Stoklomolvi is to remain mobilised however neutral.

We are willing to give $2 billion dollars toward fighting communism if Reagan will make several guest appearances to support a new film opening in Commonalitarianism theatres To Be A Baboons Cousin. There has been a revival of Reagan's To Be A Monkey's Uncle in various art theatres as well as being a smash hit on the web on MyCube a video viewing site.

Despite the offer, the President is unavailable to make guest appearances at this time as he is holding round the clock meetings with his cabinet and members of congress regarding matters of national security.

With the advent of Ryou nuclear weapons, Congress speedily passed the $100 billion aid bill. In addition it approved $200 billion in food aid.

America takes note of Stoklomolvi's protest. However, the Ryou Black Islands are clearly the aggressor. America also takes note that America has asked the Pacific Island Defence Force to not attack Ryou as we believe it to be against our interests.

America accepts the offer, though we cannot deny or confirm that an attack on Ryou is in the offing.

America does call upon Stoklomolvi to pressure the Ryou Black Islands to abandon its nucear program. The Ryou's quest for nukes has changed the equation and threatens the peace process.

The battalion of Greal elite troops will be alongside with your marine division during any attack on Ryou.

Stoklomolvi supports the notion of peace and will pressure for Ryou to stop its nuclear weaponry program. The reason behind this is for world peace, instead of nuclear Armageddon.

Top Secret Diplomatic Message:
To: Stoklomolvi
From: UnitedStatesofamerica-

The United States government seeks to assure your government that we have no intention of invading the Ryou Black Islands. Instead we might take non combat measures.
