[APWG] the Noxious Weed Control Act

[Maryann Whitman]

While this bill was still in process I happened (on the net) on a list of
the plants of concern. Not only was the list relatively short, but I did not
recognize one plant on the list. No knapweed, no star thistle, no purple
loosestrife. I wrote for more information and got a very terse letter back
telling me that these were agricultural weeds of concern, and that the list
had been carefully thought out. Can't seem to find the list on the net
anymore. Can anyone corroborate my story? I do hope I'm wrong.
