aspects. The connnittee discussed these requirements as fully as possible in 

 the overall plan, which was published on December ^, 1973, Jim Brown, the 

 committee chairman, listed the regulatory requirements as the six C's: clear- 

 ance, course of action, cooperation, coordination, cost allocation, and com- 

 pliance. There should be no difficulty in interpreting these terms. "Clear- 

 ance" simply entails authority for the effort to eliminate the boll weevil. 

 "Course of action" has to do with the technical plans for such action, 

 including the establishment and administration of elimination zones. 

 "Cooperation" in this context takes on a rather special meaning in that it 

 requires 100% participation. E. F. Knipling phrases it as "full cooperation 

 of all cotton producers." "Coordination" entails such steps in an overall 

 program as a reporting system for cotton acreage, destruction of small 

 isolated plantings, and other items of a similar nature. "Cost allocations" 

 is fully covered in Section 611 of Public Law 93-86 enacted on August 10, 1973. 

 ""his law will be discussed in more detail later. "Compliance" in the present 

 context comprises such terms as right of entry, quarantines, or other regula- 

 tions governing movements through eradication zones, disposition of noncommercial 

 cotton, and similar problems.

 technique to evaluate boll weevil oviposition preference among cotton 

 lines. Crop Sci. 7: 579-581. 

 A technique was developed to evaluate a large number of cotton lines in a mini- 

 mum of time as oviposition sites for the boll weevil. Mississippi field weevils 

 and the A & iM laboratory strain were tested for a comparison of their response 

 to various cotton lines. We concluded that: (1) Evaluating cotton lines with 

 the laboratory strain of weevils would closely approximate the cotton varietal 

 ^differences evident in evaluating with field weevils; (2) Boll weevil oviposi- 

 tion was an insect biological response which could be modified by the host
