This recording is part 1 of 2 of an interview with Manuel Garza on March 9, 1979. Garza recalls how in 1973 Jack Ogg, Tati Santiesteban and Chet Brooks all had bilingual education legislation prepared, but through compromise the bill was given to Brooks to push through the Senate. Meanwhile in the House, Truan had an informal agreement that Speaker Price Daniel, Jr. would help promote the bilingual education bill since Truan had helped with Daniel's campaign for Speaker. Garza also mentions that the night before the gubernatorial primary, Mexican American groups were making deals with candidate Ben Barnes, believing he would win the primary. However, due to his involvement with the Sharpstown Scandal as well as his "flamboyant" lifestyle, Dolph Briscoe won the primary and inevitably became governor of Texas. However, Briscoe proved helpful in supporting the passage and funding of the bilingual and adult education bills in 1973.
