I concur with the remarks of Senator Kempthorne. In addition, I understand that, currently, it is nearly impossible to eradicate yellowstar thistle once it has infected the narrow, arid canyon lands of the West, and in particular, the canyons of the Clearwater, Snake and Salmon Rivers of my home State. Mr. President, it is my understanding that the research to control this weed is reaching a critical stage, where practical biological controls should be available for public use within the next few years. Is it the intention of this bill to fund research with direct and immediate practical applications for the agricultural industry?
