FLOOR DISCUSSION 



Because this paper by H. Saho, along with the three preceding papers 

 by S. K. Hyun, J. Ahsan and M.I.R. Khan, and P. D. Dogra, covered a group 

 of related Asiatic white pines, important as sources of blister rust 

 resistance, Moderator Bingham withheld floor discussion on the four 

 papers until this time.

 evening Dr. S. K. Hyun brought out the fact that there might be a similar 

 threat to Pinus avmandii in Taiwan. In view of this information the 

 IUFRO Committee on White Pine Blister Rust is forwarding through its 

 parent group (Dr. Gerhold's Intersect ional Working Group on Genetic 

 Resistance to Forest Diseases and Insects) a recommendation that IUFRO
