quarantine problems and (12) record keeping on collection locality and 

 seed disbursal . 



Similarly, Subcommittee Chairman John Gremmen circulated a memorandum 

 July 28, 1969, to members of the Subcommittee on International (blister 

 rust) Resistance Testing Facilities, requesting information on (1) the 

 sort of facilities needed, (2) where they should be established, and (3) 

 how they should be operated and financed. Also, with the assistance of 

 subcommittee member B. F. S^egaard, on February 27, 1969, Chairman Gremmen 

 circularized about 50 European forestry agencies--those conceivably 

 interested in restoring white pines for general forestry use in their 

 countries—requesting information on their interest and possible coopera- 

 tion in international research on blister rust resistance. 



COMMITTEE AND SUBCOMMITTEE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS 

 AUGUST 18-23, 1969 



A. General Committee Meeting 



The Committee on White Pine Blister Rust met in general session 

 August 18, 1969, in Conference Room 1, of the University of Idaho, 

 Wallace Residence Center, Moscow, Idaho, U.S.A. 



Present were Committee Chairman Bingham; Subcommittee Chairman 

 Kriebel and Subcommittee on Procurement and Exchange of Breeding Materials 

 Members Heimburger, Holzer, Hyun, Saho, Nicota, and Ahsan (the latter two 

 members as represented by M. Vidakovic); and Subcommittee Chairman Gremmen, 

 and Subcommittee on International Resistance Test Facilities Members 

 Hoff, Patton, SchUtt, S^egaard, Zufa, and Bakshi (as represented by S. 

 Kedharnath) . Also present was H. D. Gerhold, Chairman of the parent 

 IUFRO Intersectional Working Group on Genetic Resistance to Forest 

 Diseases and Insects, and visitors, R. J. Steinhoff, B. B. Kinloch, 

 A. KlingstrOm, F. Cech, K. von Weissenberg, plus others not recorded. 



Five general items of business were disposed of, as follows: 



(1) White Pine Taxonomy . There was general agreement that the 

 white pine taxonomy as presented in Critchfield, William B., and Elbert L. 

 Little, Jr., Geographic Distribution of the Pines of the World. U.S. Dep. 

 Agr., Forest Service, Misc. Publ. 991. 97 pp. Feb., 1966, should be used 

 in all future communcations between Committee Members. It was recommended, 

 however, that the species Pinus griffithii McClell., up for reconsidera- 

 tion and rejection in favor of P. wallichiana A.B. Jackson (by the 

 Standing Committee on Stabilization of the International Association for 



Lant Taxonomy) for the time being always be given in conjunction with 

 its synonym P. wallichiana A.B. Jacks. 



also recommended that the Japanese P. parviflora complex be 



tigated by the appropriate Committees of the International 



Plant Taxonomy, toward more clearly defining the taxons 



ously known as P. pentaphylla Mayr (for the northern 



okkaido and central to northern Honshu) and P. pentaphylla 



<atsu Makino or P. himekomatsu Miyabe and Kudo (for the 



central and S. central Honshu). A Committee recommenda- 



: was prepared by Hoff and Vidakovic, and this 



nee been handcarried by Kriebel to the appropriate
