[aroid-l] Comments on small lot seed imports - U. S.

From: "G. D. M." <doji at interpac.net> on 2004.05.01 at 18:18:18(11465) > >From the Pacific Bulb Society's mailing lists that I received today is the following letter that could be of benefit to us all in the U. S. In the above reference, I did not mean to say that the new regulation would only be a benefit, there are also down sides to the way it is written. As I stated on another list "this looks like it was written by bean counters, not bean growers". +More I have also wallowed through all of the references contained in the proposal, and if you would like, I can post their web addresses to save others time. To go directly to the proposal: http://www.regulations.gov/freddocs/04-09716.htm Sorry if I gave the impression that we all should approve this proposal. There is another, now permanent regulation, involving Japanese beetles that was adopted because of only ONE comment in agreement, no opposition, with the proposal and that was made by a state agency. We are heard, and maybe listened to, when we do comment. Gary
