Welcome back to the Five Freedoms with me, Paula Hampton.

Today I'm interviewing Boone County Representative Edward F. Michaels.

Nice to be here, Paula.

Representative Michaels, is there any truth to the reports...

... that you funded a report into oil reserves under Big Bone Lick State Park?

I simply do not understand the hostility, Paula.

You'd think we were plunging derricks into the soil already...

So you're admitting it?

It's not a crime to want jobs for our county, Paula.

The park is not on federally protected land. It's simply an exploratory report...

And what if they find oil there?

It would be drilled in accordance with all the regulations...
