00:00:01.040 - 00:00:20.390

Essentially, the aims and goals are to keep Alcatraz as open space and buy open space space. We mean a very minimum of development, Uh, and and not not a commercial enterprise of any kind. We recognize, of course, the need of the city of San Francisco to

00:00:20.400 - 00:00:38.060

generate revenue. On the other hand, Alcatraz represents one of the few, uh, gem in our in our whole Bay area, and we would like it maintained as that and not be developed for as as an additional tourist attract. What about the financial problems of the island?

00:00:39.340 - 00:00:55.840

Well, I'm not a sure that there exists a financial problem as far as the city of San Francisco is concerned. What are you asking the supervisors to do? We're asking the supervisors to urge that the Secretary, Hickel, declare it as a national park or national monument.

00:00:56.070 - 00:01:12.450

Why is this coalition of conservation has been so long informing that this question of Alcatraz has been considered for two years now, why does any coalition of citizens take a long time to form it? Citizens organizations never form until the crisis point is reached and the

00:01:12.450 - 00:01:28.350

crisis point is now and therefore it has been formed. What tactics will you be using? We'll use essentially the same tactics that were successful in getting a strong B. C D. C. Bill passed the voice of many thousands of people being heard on this issue.
