I am wondering how this will effect seed exchanges particularly the NARGS 
exchange.

Will government play"big brother" again and discourage any new plant material 
from coming in. I think it should use its energy and try to prevent the 
spread of damaging organisms that have been shipped through faulty  federal 
inspections. Some species from Asia which have been slipped through in 
packing material used for imports are raking havoc. I have in mind a 
particular beetle (forget the name) which has become a problem around 
Chicago. I read that it slipped through because of the packing material was 
not fully inspected.

I read part of the website.

Thanks
