I am trying to also point out the fact that it
is going to be quite a complicated and quite a monumental task to develop the
reservation. There is no doubt about that. It is a vast monumental task and is
going to take tremendous energy, efforts and money to weld this thing into a
vast operating and profitable organization so that everyone will profit by it.
Getting back to the oil and gas phase of it to give you some idea about some of
these detailed ideas of developing. I noticed in going over the reservation the
last few days the shooting crews, or seismographic crews, running helter and
skelter. When a shooting crew wants to do any seismographic work, they have to
get a permit. You all know that. It is usually customary for them to pay
something for that permit when they ask for a permit. If a man had 300,000
acres and they wanted to shoot 100,000 of it, he would make them pay for that
and would make them stay within that. He would require a picture of it. He
would probably have a man with them and when he got through, he would have a
100% picture of it. He would probably have a man with them and when he got
through, he would have a 100% true picture of all the work they have done. An
oil company will say “yes, I will give you a picture”, but they do not give you
an accurate picture.
