SC - OOP - "White List" question

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

I skipped over this message the first time around, because I don't 
garden.  The National Invasive Species Council has a website at:  

http://www.invasivespecies.gov/
There you can access the full text of past and pending legislation 
related to invasive species.  As Cassea's mother commented, the 
legislation seems to be mostly concerned with invasive weeds.
