That was coincidental. I'm through. But in summary, the main 

 points that I would like to leave with you are that, yes, I realize, and 

 I think that most managing editors realize there are some problems as 

 fap»'as the relationships between news media and their sources are 

 concerned. I personally don't feel that we're any more guilty of 

 creating or perpetrating these problems than the people who make the 

 news are. I think we need better understanding, better translation 

 skills on both sides of the picture. And again, I think that outdoors 

 news is something that needs to make a little bit of an evolution form 

 the strictly entertainment approach. And incidentally, OUTDOOR LIFE, 

 FIELD AND STREAM and SPORTS AFIELD are doing a magnificant job in 

 making that transition. I think that's a very important transition for 

 all of the people. Thank you. ^ 



STEVE BAYLESS : Our next speaker ,s Bu.e Seawell, the Executive 

 Director of the Colorado Office of Energy Conservation. He's an 

 impressive individual and has impressive credentials. He has a 

 graduate degrees in law from the University of Denver and very 

 importantly, I think, a graduate degree in theology, which certainly 

 places him in a unique position to help us with our energy issues 

 today. He served as Director of Communications for the the Rocky 

 Mountain Center on Environment from 1971 through 1975. During this 

 time he hosted environmental programs on KRMA-TV, Denver, the 

 public broadcast station there. From 1975 through 1977 he served on 

 the Colorado State Land Use Commission and he's been with the Office 

 of Energy Conservation since 1977. As you will note, Buie hales from 

 the deep South ... North Carolina, but has been in Colorado for quite 

 some time. Buie. 



BUIE SEAWELL : Thank you. We've got a time problem and 

 southerners supposedly talk slowly so I'll try to cut down on the 

 amount of information. And you know, in the South you never trust 

 somebody who can talk faster than they apparently can think. And 

 that's one of the reasons that we think it's good to sort of draw words 

 out and give them a certain resonance as we go along. I will try to do 

 it in 15 minutes. 



The administrator and the media is one of those love-hate 

 relationships that this country built when it framed its Constitution well 

 over 200 years ago, and as the ideas that led into the 1789 document 

 matured, I think that was guaranteed. As a result there would always 

 be tension between those who held office and those who had, under 

 the Bill of Rights, the responsibilities of the most important single 

 amendment to our Constitution. It is never going to be a simple
