Prince Mohammed Al-Faisal, son of the late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, answered queries on his proposal to tow icebergs from the South Pole to enhance water supplies. He says the project is more economically lucrative than their oil industry. Oil is a diminishing resource, but with ample water supplies (of which they are now short) additional food may be produced and may be utilized in industry. The prince was then questioned on the country's economics, industrial concerns, the workforce in Saudi Arabia, education, and traditional changes in the country. (MCW)
