Most of the interview focuses on the TRA’s plans to build a Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Museum and Research Center. Bruns discusses the purposes of the museum, its possible location, financing, and its importance to the future of the TRA. A photograph of Bruns appears on the first page of the interview.
