TRANSCRIPT

MSD: (starts 2:00) The problems that the Everglades Park has nowadays that were because of the lack of
control over Taylor, whether River or Creek or Slough, whatever it is, I never remember its right name,
are still evident. If they could control it, they could control more of the water supply into the Park, and
might be able to control the fact that much of that agricultural land has been a menace to the Park
because the runoffs includes pesticides and things that haven't been so good. But, the Park problem has
to be solved, from, with the outpouring of water from the Lake. The engineers have to do that. That's
why the Water Management District and the Park have got together on those seven points, and that's
why we are really anxious that the engineers would agree with the other points. I don't see why they
don't. I must say I'm very impatient with them for not agreeing, I don't know what they're, what they
have in mind. (ends 3:15)
