00:00:00.540 - 00:00:38.730

yeah, mm hmm. Please keep fighting for humanity and nature. I think that's a good idea for all of us and I expect to keep doing so with all the voice that has permitted me and welcome the support of

00:00:38.730 - 00:00:51.790

the club's management and members in the new organization. I thank those of you who gave it for all the good efforts you put in while I was your Chief of staff. I hope to make many more speeches praising good Sierra club achievement. I intended this to

00:00:51.790 - 00:01:32.130

be my last speech as the Sheriff of employees and it was only. Mm hmm. Okay. Mhm David brower, why did you finally decide to give up the fight? I haven't given up the fight, but I've moved out of

00:01:32.130 - 00:01:44.270

the Sierra Club, not out as a member but into another sphere of activity that I hope will augment what the Sierra club is doing and will carry on things that the Sierra club is not willing or able yet to do. It's an organization that we don't

00:01:44.270 - 00:01:58.760

have the name of yet. I think we'll have an announcement on it by the end of the week. Do you feel any bitterness? No, I don't. I feel disappointed but I made an adjustment oh, several days ago to the likelihood of this. I uh I joined

00:01:58.760 - 00:02:14.020

the army by enlisting before they drafted me and this is working the same way a little bit backward. I think there's a great deal for many people to do in conservation to augment the Sierra club's work nationwide and worldwide I'm studying this with a group of

00:02:14.030 - 00:02:28.790

people whose names I mentioned in my statement that includes Stewart Udall and Justice Douglas uh George wald who made that famous Harvard speech. I think something very good is going to come out of this. I'm quite optimistic about it and I hope to be able to

00:02:28.790 - 00:02:48.420

announce more soon. The past two years of the Sierra Club have been the most turbulent in the club's history. They've been bitter in a personal sense and yet at the same time they have had fantastic achievements in the area of conservation. Now, beyond any doubt, the

00:02:48.420 - 00:02:58.250

Sierra Club moves into a new era, an era of a conservation club without the leadership of david brower, this is an arnold for eyewitness news in san Francisco.
