HB 29-15: Bir Tawil Research Base Establishment Act (Final vote)

[Dr. MB]

Anyone got anything else? I'll motion for a final vote

[Joseph Cao]

I am at least glad that we are no longer discussing statehood for an uninhabited patch of land, and that if it is to be used for anything, a research base seems like the best course of action. Though I remain unconvinced that now is the best time to pursue it.

No objections to a final vote.
