Speed is of the essence
Something wrong with the clip?

Dr. Ernest D. Hubbs:
Memorandum, to R. Flanders Smith, Secretary National Science Foundation, Committee on Biological Controls. From E. D. Hubbs, Senior Fellow, Coronado Institute. Subject: Biological Imbalance in an Upland Arizona Valley. Facts on hand: traditional antagonisms among several ant species have come to a dramatic halt. At the same time there has been an apparent disappearance of those insects which pray on ants. Specifically, mantises, beetles, millipedes and spiders. If these conditions persist, they must inevitably lead to increases in ant population. Proposal: an immediate full-scale attack on the threat of biological imbalance to other lifeforms in the subject area. Mode of operation: an experiment station to be built and maintained with equipment sophisticated enough to control the problem and any potential consequences. Personnel: one senior scientist, myself, plus one associate. A qualified information specialist with cyrptological background. In this connection I have been impressed with the recent work of J. R. Lesko at The Naval Undersea Center of San Diego. Location of installation: it is suggested that the experiment station be placed in the locale of the most recently observed phenomena. Conclusions and recommendations: speed is of the essence
