Reel 2:
Segment 1 (sound): Man interviewed in law library about the Santa Clara County Supervisor's vote on FMC's application to build an ordnance testing site north of Morgan Hill.

He discusses options for a lawsuit or a referendum to fight the decision.
Segment 2 (silent): Footage of the Lawrence Expressway sign next to highway; orchard along highway; cars traveling along highway next to orchard.
Segment 3 (sound): Track and field coach interviewed about the prospects of Tommie Smith and Jerry [?] running in weekend match. "Both runners are still not what you would consider in good shape. Tommie still has a tightness in the back of his leg, and Jerry just got out of the hospital on Thursday and when I talked to him on Friday he definitely wasn't ready to run, and it would be rather a mistake if Tommie were to try to run Santa Monica this weekend. Both of them seem to be coming along, and I think they'll be able to participate. The question right now is whether the coaches and managers will feel they're in a position where they can take a chance with them." Reporter asks, "Do we think they'll run in the Russian meet if they don't run this weekend?" "I think something will be worked out. I am in rather a unique position working with the United States track team for both meets, and I talked to Stan Wright on the phone, and he felt if there was a good chance, and if the boys felt well, something could be worked out so they could compete." Reporter: "Well, I understand Tommie's in Los Angeles working with the striders [?]" "Yes, he is working with the doctor very closely and getting a little hydrotherapy, and he's also working out twice a day, and he's sure eager, he wants to go. He's looking extremely forward to particularly the Russian meet, but he'd like to compete in both of them."
Reel 3:
Segment 1 (sound): Silent footage of an African-American man speaking to a banquet room of men. A different man is then interviewed who says that the primary role that the minority group leadership could play in the small business community would be to provide motivation and make members aware of programs available to them. He says this isn't adequately being done in many cities. The African-American man is then interviewed. He says that small business is out of the cultural background of people in some traditions. "The point that became clear to us here in San Jose last night is that in terms of the Mexican-American community, they're basically an agricultural background, and so they're not as motivated to go into business..."
Segment 2 (silent): Courtroom. A group of young juveniles in prison jumpsuits are led into the court. Many women are in the audience.
