Another bill of interest would be HR 669 Section 5 (regarding importation of non-natives).
I wasn't too concerned about these bills and existing regs. until Cass Sunstein (Harvard law prof) was appointed to head up the OIRA (office of Information and Regulatory Affairs). If his previous works and associations are any indication (ran into his writings while penning a humorous little scree on his colleague Catharine McKinnon's associating animal abuse with misogyny...), we could be in for a weird(er) ride.

I'm not pleased with the choice of `interpreter'. Sunstein is no big fan of industry or backyarders. But, don't listen to me, listen to Sunstein at a Harvard presentation on animal rights. He comes in at 00:39, you hunters might want to start listening at about 00:47 (or thereabouts).

Sure, he can't push completely out of the envelope into some brave new world, but he'll be choking someone(s) on the postage.
All of this makes me wish congress was more like it was shortly after the turn of the last century (same games, but the style was less affected).
