OFFICIAL WELCOME FROM CSU The S-9 Technical Committee members and visitors were welcomed to Colorado State University by Dr. J. P. Jordon, Colorado AES. Dr. Jordon pointed out the importance of making our administrators, collegues and congressmen aware of the purpose of Plant Introductions and the S-9 Technical Committee. Needed are publications to bring visibility on a national scale. Dr. Jordon gave an informative and entertaining overview of the budgetary situation with respect to inflation, closing with an optimistic view. The S-9 Technical Committee was also welcomed to the National Seed Storage Laboratory by Dr. L. N. Bass, SEA-AR. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Dr. Richard Stadtherr moved approval of the minutes of the 1978 meeting. The motion was seconded and approved. 5. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The tentative agenda was slightly modified and the agenda as presented in these minutes was approved. 6. APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES Chairman Watson appointed the following Committees: A. Nominations: R. E. Sigafus, Chairman J. L. Bowers W. Fike B. Time and Place of Next Meeting: J. S. Kirby, Chairman R. J. Stadtherr P. J. Ito C. Resolutions: G. M. Prine, Chairman 0. D. Ramirez L. N. Skold 7. STATE PROGRESS REPORTS AND RESEARCH PLANS The following state representatives presented their annual reports. Copies of the reports are contained in Appendix A. Representative State J. L. Bowers Arkansas G. M. Prine Florida G. Sowell, Jr. Georgia P. J. Ito Hawaii R. E. Sigafus Kentucky R. J. Stadtherr Louisiana C. E. Watson, Jr. Mississippi W. T. Fike North Carolina J. S. Kirby Oklahoma O. D. Ramirez Puerto Rico D. W. Bradshaw South Carolina L. N. Skold Tennessee E. L. Whitelex Texas 8. REPORT FROM NATIONAL PROGRAM STAFF Dr. Quentin Jones raised the question whether members of the S-9 Committee had received proposals from other regions for review. He reported that $33,900 are available annually for the purpose of explorations. Dr. Jones urged all members who propose foreign explorations to contact the Agricultural attachet well in advance. It is the responsibility of the Regional Coordinator to see that proper channels are followed. Dr. Jones noted that the exchange of germplasm and germplasm teams with the Peoples Republic of China has been approved. A germplasm team from the United States was to visit The Peoples Republic of China in August 1979. Dr. Jones also reported that $200,000 has been set aside to encourage grower-producer willingness to try new crops. He noted that there is renewed interest in crops for arid lands and crops useful for alcohol production. 9. REPORT FROM GERMPLASM RESOURCES LABORATORY Dr. G. A. White outlined the computerization of Plant Introduction infor- mation. He described the translation of computer information and pointed out the high percentage of duplication required. Dr. White also noted that there are some Plant Introductions prohibited in the United States. 10. REPORT FROM THE NATIONAL SEED STORAGE LABORATORY Dr. L. N. Bass deferred most of his comments on the National Seed Storage Laboratory for the tour of the facilities scheduled later in the agenda. He brought to our attention the National Conference for Animal, Plant and Microbial Gene Resource Conservation. 11. REPORT FROM GERMPLASM RESOURCES INFORMATION PROJECT (GRIP) Dr. K. M. Rawal reported that the Germplasm Resources Information Project is now permanently located at Colorado State University. He stated that the information system being developed would increase the number of Plant Introductions incorporated into breeding programs. The prototype for the system was developed from the system of computerizing Plant Introduction information reported on by Dr. White. The similarity of systems will make possible an information exchange for anyone needing access to Plant Introduction germplasm information. 12. REPORT FROM SOUTHERN REGION PLANT INTRODUCTION STATION Dr. Grover Sowell, Acting Coordinator, made available packets of 'Mainstream' cantaloupes recently released from South Carolina and asked for comments and recommendations for use in field plantings. Dr. Sowell showed slides of work in screening for resistance to anthracnose in watermelons. Dr. Sowell presented the Southern Regional Station Budget for 1980. Dr. L. N. Skold moved for approval. The motion was seconded and approved. Dr. Sowell reported that a search for a Southern Region Coordinator continues and that he is hopeful that the position will be filled by the new year. 13. REPORTS ON GERMPLASM COLLECTIONS AND PROGRAMS AT: A. Subtropical Horticultural Research Station Dr. P. K. Soderholm reported that two 1939 Plant Introductions of coconut have proven to be resistant to coconut yellows and that there is renewed interest in incorporating this germplasm into coconut breeding programs. He also reported on some of the inherent problems in maintaining an extensive collection of Sansevaria plant introductions. B. Soil Conservation Service Dr. Wendel Hassel discussed plant material centers and funding from the Soil Conservation Service. He discussed the budgets fro plant materials centers and cost:retum ratios. 14. REPORT FROM USDA, SEA/CR Dr. C. 0. Grogan reported that $291,000 went into genetic vulnerability studies of soybeans, potatoes and corn last year. He advised that researchers should not overlook the grant possibility in biomass and alcohol production. He also pointed out that the Competitive Research Grants Office be tapped for proposals. The National Science Foundation might also be a further source of funds. Dr. Grogan stated the outlook for 1980-81 appears good. He pointed out that the National Plant Genetics Research Board have formulated goals which fit well with our program. The Users Advisory Board have expressed an interest in how our work fits into their program so that they can in turn take our message to Washington. 15. REPORT FROM PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION OFFICE Dr. Joe Wiggins reported on changes in the Plant Varieyt Protection Act. The legal protection has been extended to 18 years instead of 17 years. He also stated that all new varieties are now described by the Plant Variety Protection Office, not just those protected by the Plant Protection Act, in order to better decide whether or not a particular variety qualifies to be protected. Dr. Wiggins stated that a total cost of $750 is needed for a new plant to be protected by the Plant Variety Protection Act and that approximately 75% of all applications result in protection. 16. COMMITTEE REPORTS A. Nominations: Dr. R. J. Stadtherr moved the nominations of Dr. D. W. Bradshaw as Chairman and J. S. Kirby as Secretary. The motion was seconded and approved. B. Time and Place of Next Meeting: Dr. 0. E. Smith moved the acceptance of the University of Hawaii, Honolulu Hawaii as the site of the next meeting with meeting dates of July 31 and August 1, 1980. The motion was seconded and approved. C. Resolutions: Dr. R. J. Stadtherr moved the acceptance of the following resolutions: Resolution A.

    The Wbo World Lightweight Championship Terry Flanagan V Orlando Cruz

    THE WBO WORLD LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TERRY FLANAGAN V ORLANDO CRUZ WBO Lightweight Champion Terry Flanagan (31-0 12 KOs) will make the fourth defence of his World title against Puerto Rico’s former World title challenger Orlando Cruz (25-4-1 13 KOs) on Frank Warren’s huge November 26th Motorpoint Arena Cardiff show, live and exclusive on BoxNation. Welsh fights fans will be treated to an incredible five title fights at the Motorpoint Arena; two World title fights, two British title fights and one European fight. Big time boxing has well and truly returned to Cardiff. When Flanagan stopped American challenger Diego Magdaleno in a hail of punches back in October 2015 during the maiden defence of his WBO World Lightweight title, it had taken the Manchester southpaw under six minutes to prove his world class credentials. Then in March the Steve Maylett trained star retained his WBO crown with a wide points decision over tough as nails Liverpool veteran Derry Mathews in an absorbing arm wrestle of a fight in front of a packed-out Liverpool Echo Arena. Last time out at the Ice Arena Wales Flanagan successfully made the third defence of his World title against the experienced and tricky Mzonke Fana. South Africa’s Fana provided Flanagan with a stern test but the Ancoats man came away with a unanimous decision win. Cruz, 35, fought for Puerto Rico at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and ran undefeated for a full nine years before losing to America’s Cornelius Lock by TKO in 2009. During a glittering career Cruz has held the WBO Latino Featherweight and WBO NABO Super-Featherweight titles.
