Thank you Lumine......Now, as President McKinley-
I declare a week of national mourning....the assassination of our national heroes has been all to frequent in my lifetime and I urge all citizens to pray for America's future
I order to creation of an independent agency dedicated to domestic security- I would like a Bureau of Investigation to be formed under the supervision of the Attorney General, with other government departments and agencies to share resources as needed.
I nominate Secretary of State John Hay to become Vice President... Secretary Hay is a respected statesman whose service began as an aide to President Lincoln. He is a steady hand who I need by my side as I lead our nation through national crisis
--------------
To the UK- at the Niagara Falls Summit
I am pleased to consider any proposals you have to benefit both of our economies through trade. I propose the creation of a special economic zone including the Maritime Provinces- the closest North American port to Britain- in which Americans, Canadians, and British can travel freely... It is only fair- in this case- for the USA to take up its share of the burden to defend the trade routes. I propose a gradual commitment for an increased role in for the US Navy to ease the burden on the Royal Navy and the British treasury
By the end of 1902- 25% reduction in Royal Navy personnel in Canadian waters The US Navy must match the personnel to assume their security objectives
By the end of 1903- 50% reduction in Royal Navy personnel in Canadian waters The US Navy must match the personnel to assume their security objectives
With an expanding empire- Britain must rely on other friendly nations to pick up some of the burden. With Canada safely near the USA, I urge Britain to no longer feel obligated to waste resources defending land which can be defended by others instead of sending money, resources, and men to where all three are sorely needed

To the UK-
I did not anticipate you withdrawing your entire Canadian fleet to move to participate in the Ottoman conflict.... As a provisional security measure- I have sent several US Navy patrol boats to assist local Canadian forces. I would like to begin discussions with you regarding a potential agreement whereby the USA could take responsibility for Canada's defense. Of course, this decision must be made by the Canadian people and would be only in terms of defense, not government or any rejection of the King as the head of state- but if you are amenable to reducing the burden placed on the Royal Navy defending Canadian shores when the task could be performed by a friendly nation just to the south- why not?
We shall consider it at length, and shall get back to you although the idea is being generally well received in Westminster. The United States has proven in the past it is a friendly nation towards Britain and Britain intends to treat it just as well in return.
I appreciate your expression of friendship and I assure you we feel the same to our mother nation For the purposes of discussion- I propose the following treaty The Transfer of Responsibility for the Defense of Canada Treaty 1- The Dominion of Canada remains a part of the British Empire with the Head of State remaining the King 2- The US Navy- in consultation with the Royal Navy- shall assume responsibility for defending Canadian waters 3- The US Army- in consultation with the British Army- shall assume responsibility for defending Canadian territorial integrity 4- The Parliaments of Canada and the United Kingdom maintain the right to direct the US Secretary of War and US Secretary of the Navy to adjust strategies or tactics at any time 5- This treaty shall take effect immediately
