(12) Whereas, The Federal Horticultural Board has, through its quarantine serv¬ 
ice, rendered valuable protection to the agricultural interests of the United States, and 
Whereas, The present quarantine service of the Board is not at present adequate, 
because of insufficient funds, to properly safeguard the country against the importa¬ 
tion of new pests, therefore, the American Association of Economic Entomologists 
requests Congress to appropriate and make available the sum of $200,000 for the 
ensuing fiscal year, for the use of the Federal Horticultural Board in extending and 
developing an adequate port inspection and quarantine service at all ports of the 
United States, and that copies of this resolution be furnished to the chairmen 
respectively of the Agricultural Committees of the House and Senate, the Honor¬ 
able Secretary of Agriculture and the Chairman of the Federal Horticultural Board. 
(13) That this Association unite with the Phytopathologists, Horticulturists and 
other associations in full cooperation with the American Plant Pest Committee in its 
publicity and legislative efforts for the protection of America from destructive plant 
pests. 
(14) That our Association representative to the National Research Council be an 
ex-officio member of our Committee on Policy. 
(15) That the proposition of Prof. Frank R. Lillie, Chairman of the Committee 
on Cooperation and Coordination of the Division of Biology and Agriculture of the 
National Research Council, urging this Association to cooperate with the National 
Research Council, be referred to our Committee on Policy with power to act.

Committee. 
The resolutions were adopted unanimously and without comment, 
with the following exceptions: 
Resolution 3 on discontinuing the employment bureau was discussed 
briefly and was adopted by a vote of 22 for, 9 against. 
Resolution 5 was discussed briefly and the point was made that the 
adoption of this resolution might have a bad, rather than a good effect, 
in bringing about increased compensation for entomologists. It was 
adopted, however, without change. 
Resolution 7 was discussed briefly, the point being made that 
some men in the United States Bureau of Entomology did not attend 
the meetings of this association because they could not obtain proper 
authorization from the Department of Agriculture.
