Better communication

In 1973 Jose Silva invited a group of scientists to Houston, Texas, as his guest, so that he could introduce them to his work and answer any questions that they had about it.

Recently, we found the tape recordings that were made of that historic meeting.

And we discovered something very interesting about the research that Jose Silva wanted to do at that time.

After the master of ceremonies finished introducing all of the scientists at the conference, Mr. Silva welcomed them and made a few brief remarks.

The visiting scientists were introduced by the master of ceremonies, then Jose welcomed them. He talked for 10 minutes about funding, about the research grants that come from commercial organizations.

He told the scientists how he had built his own commercial organization from the results of his research, and was earning enough money to fund his own research. In this way, he could research anything he wanted to, not be restricted by the people providing the funds.

He acknowledged that all of the scientists at the conference had their own pet projects that they would like to research, and he told the scientists about the area that he wanted to research next.

The following is a transcript of what he said. After that he thanked them and sat down. Here is Jose Silva in a recording made at that 1973 conference, telling other scientists about what he wanted to research:
