On Preview Cassette 210171 B MS bald white male officer with the Department of Public Safety sitting behind desk in office, speaking dryly about the upcoming holiday weekend and its relationship to highway accidents: "The experts in Austin are predicting 44 persons will lose their lives this Labor Day weekend. The Department of Public Safety is putting additional men on our roads from the Motor Vehicle Inspection Service to assist the Highway Patrol service. Special emphasis will be placed upon drinking drivers and speeders, as these are two major killers on the highways. Due to the music festival in the Louisville area this weekend, we expect traffic to be very heavy in this particular area & extra men will be on duty."
