Speaking in Kansas City, Mo., before the American Seed Trade Association, Farm Seed Division and Western Seedmen’s Association, Schlei said critics have complained that proposed amendments to the act will lead to thousands of common vegetable varieties becoming extinct. The critics charge the amendments will encourage a genetic uniformity in vegetable varieties that will undermine advancement made in agriculture. “This is entirely false,” said Schlei. Since genetic diversity is crucial to the survival of our food supply, it is important to preserve in plant germ plasm repositories all unique genetic traits of varieties no longer available in com merce. These preserved genetic resources will assure that continued plant breeding will provide a healthy flow and availability of superior varieties both within and outside'the purview of the PVPA, Schlei said. 119
