These procurement and exchange recommendations were also discussed 

 in open committee sessions August 20 and 23, 1969, and participants at 

 the Advanced Study Institute were there invited to comment and suggest 

 improvements or additions to the recommendations. In respect to 

 recommendation (1) , Chairman H. D. Gerhold of the Intersectional Working 

 Group on Genetic Resistance to Forest Diseases and Insects, being present 

 gave immediate approval for canvassing research institutions. In respect 

 to all 10 recommendations, general approval was obtained from the Study 

 Institute participants, from two other IUFRO Section 22 Working Group 

 Chairmen present (K. Stern and A. de Jamblinne) , and from Section 22 

 Chairman R. Z. Callaham, also present. 



2. Recommendations of the Subcommittee on International Resistance 

 Test Facilities , of the IUFRO White Pine Blister Rust Committee 



The Subcommittee "International Resistance Test Facilities" makes 

 the following recommendations: 



(1) That the Subcommittee, through its Chairman, will make inquiries 

 to find which institutions are willing to cooperate in the white pine 

 blister rust testing program, and 



(2) That the Subcommittee, after assembling basic information, will 

 investigate the possibilities for the establishment of disease gardens 

 in various countries with the aims of investigating the existence of 

 other physiological races and searching for additional resistance against 

 the blister rust fungus.

Concerning these two recommendations, there is much discussion and 

 proposed Subcommittee activity that should be reported. In the Sub- 

 committee meeting of August 23, it was agreed that the Subcommittee 

 Chairman would circulate two separate inquiries to potential cooperators 

 in the medium to high blister rust hazard areas of Europe (including 

 Scandinavia and Great Britain), India-Pakistan, and North America.
