Two Big Projects

With everyone ready to continue the meeting, Witte begins first.

"After careful consideration, the Ruthenian Senate Armed Forces Committee has decided to accept the budget increase proposal of the Ministry of Defense to fund the new Space Agency." 

Alexei and Alexander placed their hands on their chest as they heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they accepted the proposal. With that settled, Alexander can now initiate the new space program that will take humanity to greater heights.

As he was celebrating inwardly, Witte continued.

"However, The Ruthenian Senate Armed Forces Committee would create a new committee to oversee the development of what you call Space Agency and how the budgets are being used. This simply means, Your Majesty, that you shall allow one or two people that we will pick to visit the classified military installations in the Ruthenia Empire."
