Thanks to Phil Bunch for reporting Joyce Fingerut's outline of points
that can be raised when petitioning the USDA-APHIS-PPQ to modify its new
seed import regulations. Joyce is the immediate past president of the
North American Rock Garden Society and posted that message to the
emailinglist Alpine-L@nic.surfnet.NL six month ago today. Her original
is archived at

Since that time Joyce has posted to Alpine-L additional advice on this
and related topics. Her 2002 postings (and responses to them) can be
seen in the Alpine-L archives:
