Briefs: VP issues statement on swap at Bureau opening

Vice President Dick Cheney spoke briefly at the opening of the first BISA in Bethesda, MD this past Wednesday.

"I'd just like to say, the office of the Vice President, and the office of the President, both endorse this institution. It will do much good to the confused Americans who are victims of this unlikely epidemic, whatever its source. It is important that we maintain our resolve and not let our enemies who may be behind this get the better of us. It will not affect our way of life. We are American, and we are determined. Thank you very much."

The VP also briefly answered questions. He was evasive on the topic of swap marriages, and the legal stature of the individual's identity rights.

Vice President Cheney merely said, "The position our government has is the same one it has always had. Whether that position is the same as the BISA is a different matter. We want no disruptions to our way of life."
