[sci.misc] ??ban on mailing plant pathogens??

hanusj@bionette.ucs.orst.edu (Joe Hanus - Botany) (02/09/89)

The fall 1988 news letter of ATCC discusses a proposed ban on mailing
of all etiological (disease causing) agents.  It is not clear from the
article if the proposed ban extends to plant pathogens or infectious
agents of agricultural importance.

Can anyone clarify this for me?
