Glad to speak to you -- wish I could every day
Press conferences good -- eager -- unedited
Know I an deficient in press contact
Goal this evening
To convey my sense of urgency about Florida
To convey my sense or the eminence of 1960-1980
Learning experiences -- suddenly I understood
Early months -- what can be done in four years
Hardly in chair -- legislature cone and gone
To build a road -- a small section
County Commission ask for it
Survey
Location
Approval
Design
Approval
Right of way
Contract
Construction
To build an office building
Than -- to really grasp the growth or Florida
And all it implies
Education at college level
National increase 1950-60 in 18-21 year olds
-Florida had 3 or 10

Ploudda had great college growth

Further behind than in 1950

-2-

JrISr. -- norms 15 or 100

' Us 29 or 100

Calif. 35 or 100
1960 College enrollment 68,000
1965 126,000
1970 218,000

1950-1960 increaae -- about 35.000
0n capital outlay 7/51-12/62 $60,000,000

+ $15 million on Junior college
Uhat must we spend for 60,000 to 1965?
What must we spend for 150,000 to 1970?
But we've been falling behind
And the inexpensive part is behind us
Now -- first -- catch up
-- then keep up -- go ahead

That is why, when Canaveral chosen, I became frightened that the

sands of time were running through my fingers
That's why the revenue program

We had counted on the escheat amendment

Even without it, good revenues
That's why we asked Palm Beach Co. to raise salary money
That's why we got private money for space study
That's why we must press forward now
why so excited about college education

Because brains is the only raw material
Many other problem. from Florida's growth

Not today's needs

But today's problems

L4H? studying when a child.
