California Condor Eben McMillan 29 February 1964 Air and are given no briefing relative to what is expected of them regarding responsibility. Most of them have firearms in their Trailer houses. None that I have talked with, in my limited Spanish, seem aware that they are violating their agreement as aliens in this Country. I have never availed them of this knowledge directly, feeling it best to gather sufficient information on the matter and leaving the matter of making an issue of this problem up to those whose job it will be to evaluate these findings. With this in mind I feel safe in stating that until alien Shepherds are advised of their responsibilities in this matter of bearing arms in this Country, and their employers who are no doubt responsible for the behaviour of these persons who are contracted under their care while in the United States, and all other irresponsible Native Shepherds who display irresponsible attitudes towards our Native Wildlife Species in their use of firearms, are brought to task for their acts of destructiveness towards our Native Wildlife, then Eagles and Condor can never be properly protected. For the type of food for these birds, offered by dead sheep, is such that in the range of Condor, and many Eagles as well, Shepherds have ample opportunities to shoot them while feeding on the Carcasses of dead sheep well within gunshot range of the camps of these men. It should be a simple matter to prevent the possession of firearms by alien Shepherds. Native Shepherds may pose more of a problem to control, in their use of firearms. But most of these people, both alien and citizen, are good people and I am sure would want to do what is right. It is just that they have never been told of what is right and what is wrong in these matters. [illegible]
