<DIV>& questions that USDA Secretary-designate should be asked when his
confirmation hearings take place.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hello, forest pest mavens,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>my most recent blog (available at <A
href="http://www.cisp.us">www.cisp.us</A> and <A
href="http://www.nivemnic.us">www.nivemnic.us</A> ) summarizes Rep. Ryan Zinke's
answers to several senators' questions about invasive species policy. Good
to get him on the record as thinking invasive species are important problems and
that the National Invasive Species Council has a role to play in coordinating
responses.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also suggest questions that you might suggest to YOUR SENATORS that they
ask USDA nominee Sonny Perdue during his confirmation process. Please
engage!</DIV>
