Press Conference at Airport — July 28, 1975, Dallas 750728PC-DALLAS [13:53 Minutes] PressConf_750728PC-DALLAS Prabhupāda: [leads prema-dhvāṇī prayers] [break] Woman reporter: Are you... Excuse me. Are you familiar with the new law in Texas which will affect your school here, and have you considered what...? There is a new law in Texas putting your school here under the same regulations as other boarding schools.
And I wonder if you have considered how that will affect your school and whether you will be able to continue here.
Prabhupāda: That will be answered by this person. He is in charge of that institution. Woman reporter: We have discussed it, but I wondered if the Swami had any views. Jagadīśa: Well, Śrīla Prabhupāda has given me the responsibility to make sure that we meet the necessary code standards so that the school will definitely go on.
That is our plan, to meet all the standards and continue on with our current activities. Woman reporter: Well, the regulation, for example, that there must be a bed for each child. How are you going to... Jagadīśa: Yes, we'll have beds.
Yes. Man reporter: Swami, why are you here? Jagadīśa: Why are you here, Śrīla Prabhupāda? He asked why are you here.
Prabhupāda: Why? Jagadīśa: Why are you here? [laughter] Prabhupāda: This is my home. [laughter] I have got so many children, grandchildren.
So I have come to see them. [break] Woman reporter: Have you any comment about the lawsuit that the sect here is involved in with regard to whether they should be allowed to sell literature and collect donations? Prabhupāda: Certainly. This is good literature. It should be encouraged.
