[MPWG] Upcoming USFWS Public Meeting on Ginseng

[Patricia_DeAngelis at fws.gov]

Several people have contacted me with questions about the upcoming USFWS
public meeting on ginseng (Panax quinquefolius; posted by Pat Ford on
2/2/06).  The summary in the FEDERAL REGISTER notice is somewhat confusing.
The three dates are:

DATES: The meeting dates are:
1. January 31, 2006, 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., Moon Township (Pittsburgh), PA.
2. February 10, 2006, 8 a.m. to 12 noon, Asheville, NC.
3. February 15, 2006, 8 a.m. to 12 noon, Indianapolis, IN.

TO CLARIFY,
++The public is invited to attend THE ENTIRE DAY’S SESSION on January 31 -
from 8am to 6pm!++
++The January 31 meeting will be THE ONLY MEETING AND LOCATION at which
these presentations will be made.++

I hope this clarifies things for you and hope to see you there.
