The goal here is through these agreements we would require at least some percentage to go in its endowment.

Given that that would take some time and focus but that there will be utility I think as well.

The goal is that in adding up all of the various endowments derived from the philanthropy that could be focused on Yosemite or on Golden Gate or the parks of New York or in the Foundation aggregate.

Your story is a powerful one. It's a great example of the American spirit of volunteerism.

I interrupted you. I know you were moving to a couple of other points perhaps you wanted to make on how this would be structured or had you worked through your list?

We feel a billion is a sizable number. It's a reasonable number.

All very important points well made and ones that I find very compelling.

I have joined forces with Senator Hatch to propose an unauthorizing Committee that would look at Federal programs that are perhaps duplicative or are not necessary anymore.

As a former non-profit CEO I'm very intrigued with the way in which you laid out the creative ideas for the Foundation and for the endowment.

I'm sure there are some of Senator Paul's political opponents that would be happy to light his yard on fire if it would help the Sequoia tree.

That's phenomenal. I want to have a chance to experience that myself.

Success breeds more success.
