Suppression of Poa Annua Seed Heads

The following observations should be noted:
1. The application should be made early in April or when turf
is first greening up. This is important since seed heads develop
almost at the same time that the poa annua starts to grow.
2. It is necessary to make sure that the sprayer is calibrated
correctly, with new nozzles on the boom. Make sure all screens
are clean inasmuch as any misses will be extremely visible.
3. Spray when there is dew on the turf, or use some type of
marking system so there will be no misses during application.
4. When the grass plant starts to come out of the chemical
reaction around the end of May, the plant has excellent color
and growth. No fertilizer should be applied at this time or any
other time during the procedure.
5. If leaf spot is a problem or blue grass varieties are being
treated, a fungicide must be applied. The treated turf is more
susceptible to leaf spot at this time.
6. If low wet fairways are a problem an application of Em­
bark at the 8 oz. rate will not only reduce seed heads, but will
also eliminate 50 to 70% of mowing required in these areas.
7. The grass does seem healthier in June when there is no
longer any reduction in growth.
In closing, the treatments to date have worked well, and our
program will be expanded in 1984.

by Bill Gaydosh, Superintendent
Edgewood Country Club, River Vale, New Jersey
During the fall of 1979, trial applications of Embark were
made to try to supress poa annua seed heads in the forthcoming
spring. I have always been a user of growth retardants such as
Maintain, and MH30 around trees, steep banks and stream
banks, to help eliminate hand work on the golf course.
When Embark was introduced by the 3M Company, it was
claimed that it would stop seed head production in any plant, so
I became interested in attempting to supress seed heads on poa
annua with this product.
Applications were made at a rate of 16 ozs. per acre on differ­
ent fairways on the golf course during the middle of November,
1979. The treated turf discolored badly, and in the spring of
1980 there were very little seed heads but also there was some
turf loss in the treated areas, which was mostly poa annua.
During the middle of November 1980, application of 12 ozs.
and 8 ozs. were applied. There was the same discoloration but in
the spring of 1981 there were many seed heads in the treated
areas. The loss of turf was not as great as with the 16 oz. rate. It
was decided to switch to a spring application during the follow­
ing season.
In early April, 1982, applications of 12 ozs., 8 ozs. and 4 ozs.
of Embark per acre, were applied to different fairways on the
golf course. The 12 oz. and 8 oz. rates looked extremely good.
There was just slight discoloration in the beginning, but within
two weeks these areas looked greener than the untreated areas
and had no seed heads. The 4 oz. rate did have some seed heads
and did not look as good as the areas treated with the higher
rates.
In early April, 1983, ten acres of fairways were treated with
the 8 oz. per acre rate of Embark, along with two tees and the
back of one green. The results were quite drastic. There were no
seed heads in the treated areas, and the contrast between treated
and untreated areas was like night and day! These treatments
worked so well that all fifty acres of fairways and three acres of
tees will be treated in 1984.

ping a ball outside the haiard within two club-lengths of Point
X, and the ball comes to rest slightly farther from the hole than
Point X but nearer the hole than the position of the original ball
in the hazard.
Decision 20-2c/l .5 states that, unless a Rule specifically per­
mits otherwise, a ball dropped under the Rules must be re­
dropped if it comes to rest nearer the hole than its original posi­
tion.
Q. In view of this Decision, must the player re-drop his ball?
A. No. Rule 26-lc specifically provides that a ball dropped
under that Rule must come to rest nor nearer the hole than the
point where the original ball last crossed the margin of the water
hazard, i.e., Point X. Since Rule 26-lc makes this specific pro­
vision, Decision 20-2c/1.5 is not applicable in this case. The
player’s ball is in play where it lies not nearer the hole than Point
X and must not be re-dropped.
26-1/1.5 Dropping Ball Behind Water Hazard
Rule 26/lb states that, when dropping a ball behind a water
hazard, the player must keep the point at which the original ball
last crossed the hazard margin directly between himself and the
hole, i.e., position himself on an extension of a line from the
hole to the point. A player positions his body on the line, but he
drops the ball an arm’s length to the left or right of the line. Or
the player positions himself an arm’s length to the left or right of
the line, but drops the ball on the line.
Q. Do both procedures satisfy the requirements o f the Rule?
A. Yes. (Note: the principle in Decision 26-1/1.5 applies
with respect to dropping a ball under Rule 28c behind the spot
where the original ball lay unplayable.)

Memo from GCSAA: Rule Decisions
Several important Rules Decisions have evolved as a result of
the revision of the Rules o f Golf for 1984. These Decisions are
included in the Consolidated USGA-R&A Decisions Book now
available. The Decisions in question are listed here in their en­
tirety.
20-2c/1.5 Dropped Ball Rolling Nearer Hole Than Original
Position
Rule 20-2c(vii) states that a dropped ball shall be re-dropped
without penalty if it rolls and comes to rest nearer the hole than
is permitted by the Rules. It is not clear what “than is permitted
by the Rules” means in certain situations.
For example, a player taking relief under Rule 24-2b(i)
(Obstructions) or Rule 25-lb(i) (Casual Water, Ground Under
Repair and Certain Damage to Course) must first determine the
point nearest to where the ball lies which (a) is not nearer the
hole, (b) avoids interference by the condition and (c) is not in a
hazard or on a putting green, and he must then drop the ball
within one club-length of that point on ground which fulfils (a) ,
(b) and (c).
Rule 20-2c(vi) allows a dropped ball to roll and come to rest
up to two club-lengths from where it first struck the ground
without it having to be re-dropped.
Q. I f a dropped ball rolls and comes to rest nearer the hole
than its original position, but within the limit allowed by Rule
20-2c(vi), may the player play it?
A. No. Unless a Rule or Local Rule specifically permits
otherwise, a ball dropped under the Rules must be re-dropped if
it comes to rest nearer the hole than its original position. Such
specific permission is not given in either Rule 24-2b(i) or Rule
25- lb(i).
26- 1/15 Ball Dropped Under Rule 26-1 c Comes to Rest Nearer
Hole Than Position o f Orignal Ball in Lateral Water Hazard
A player’s ball lies in a lateral water hazard alongside a green.
The point (point X) where the ball last crossed the margin of the
hazard is nearer the hole than the place where the ball lies in the
hazard. The player opts to proceed under Rule 26-lc(i), drop­

Superintendents Change Standards for Tour Play
Our thanks to Jim Snow for sending in this article.
If the PGA Tour came to Eagle Trace, Bay Hill or Doral or
any other of the “tournament course” in mid-August, would the
players find the same course conditions they do in February or
March when the tournaments are held? Are the PGA and LPGA
tour courses - of which there are now approximately 20 in
Florida - in acceptable tournament condition 12 months of the
year?
In most cases, the answer is, “No.” Tour professionals play
under much different conditions than the average golfer. The
conditions that exist for the tour player are ones that club mem­
bers and the general golfing public find somewhat undesireable.
These include very closely mowed fairways, long rough and ex­
tremely “fast” greens. These conditions are also very difficult
and very expensive to maintain on a year-round basis. Turfgrass
that is mowed very low, as the tour players like it, is generally
under much greater stress.
Tour players are strong, highly talented professionals with
consistent, nearly perfect swings. They have a great deal of
golfing finesse, including a putting stroke and touch that can
benefit from - and score well on - extremely “fast” greens.
Their wood and iron play takes advantage of the tightly mowed
fairway grass. These conditions exist consistently on a week-toweek basis for the tour players, and because they are the best
players in the world, their talents are best displayed when these
conditions exist.
The course standards for tournament play are prescribed by
the PGA and LPGA tours. Each tour has turf professionals who
meet and work with the golf course superintendent at each tour­
nament course. It is the superintendent’s job to make sure that
tournament golf course conditions are met. There are guidelines
for fairway widths, types of sand traps and how they should be
raked, and procedures governing mowing heights for tees, fair­
ways, rough, collars and greens on a daily basis.
In order to achieve these results, golf course superintendents
must possess a great deal of knowledge about the different gras­
ses and how different maintenance practices are used to achieve
desired results. They must understand how different weather

conditions cause grasses to grow or not to grow, when to fer­
tilize, when to irrigate and when and how to apply properly
numerous types of pesticides.
They also must understand the highly technical equipment
that is used to fine tune courses to desired specifications - equip­
ment that costs from $2,500 for a walk-behind greensmower to
$45,000 for a hydraulic powered fairway mower.
Most importantly, they must be able to relate how each of
these practices comes closer to attaining course conditions that
tour professionals consider ideal.
Overall course condition can affect the winning score of a
tournament by 8 to 10 strokes, if not more. A green that does not
put well can cause even the best of players to miss putts. A fair­
way that has longer grass than is ideal for professional expertise
can reduce the amount of good shots that hit and hold on the
green. If a golfer cannot hit a shot with a backspin on it, the ball
will not hold on the green. This explains why, when a golfer hits
a shot out of the rough, television commentators will say, “He
hit a flyer.” The golfer was not able to get any backspin on the
ball. The ball was in deep rough and he was not able to get all of
the clubface on the ball.
Course conditions, if less than ideal, can cause unfairness of
the test of the tour golfer. Golf is a game based on skill. If there
are course conditions that do not test and reward a well hit shot,
and instead involve luck, then these conditions are undesire­
able. Granted, there is a certain element of luck. Golf courses
are not always perfect for the pros, and golf course superinten­
dents cannot make everything perfect, but it is part of their job to
minimize these occurrences.
For example, if a golfer putts the ball with a perfect stroke, at
perfect speed, the ball should go into the hole 90 percent of the
time or better. An imperfect green might only allow the ball to
go into the hole 75 percent of the time or less. Greens that are not
smooth and lack good speed can cause the number of putts per
round to be higher than a nearly perfect green. The superinten­
dents at the tour courses have an obvious talent to be able to
create some of these extraordinarily smooth, true putting sur­
faces.

and the golf course itself rests with the golf course superinten­
dent. He is the individual who can ultimately provide a fair test
and provide the tour golfers with conditions that test their true
expertise. He also is the same individual who best understands
what type of course conditions are best suited for the non-pro­
fessional golfer, and must be able to adapt maintenance prac­
tices to achieve these standards.
Today’s golf course superintendent must be a versatile, pro­
gressive turf professional who not only has the knowledge of the
golf course environment, but also has the ability to create condi­
tions effectively to test each skill level suitably and fairly.

Put the proven performers together for even better
control of brown patch, dollar spot and other
serious diseases.
Thnk mixing brings other advantages,
too. With Tersan 1991 in your tank, you get
systemic action for protection from within
the turf plant. Disease control is longerlasting and is less affected by rainfall or
frequent irrigation. Thnk mixing fungi­
cides with different modes of action also
reduces chances of benzimidazole resis­
tance. You help insure the long-term effec­
tiveness of Tersan 1991 in your disease
control program.
This year, plan on using Tersan 1991 in
combination with Daconil 2787. It’s the
tank mix turf diseases can’t match.

Tersan® 1991 fungicide and Daconil
2787* fungicide are two of the most effec­
tive disease control products on the market.
And now, these proven broad-spectrum
fungicides are labeled for tank mixing.
Together, they give you even better control
of major turf diseases than either product
used alone. You get improved control, yet
without the problem of phytotoxicity com­
mon with some tank mixes.
A Tersan 1991/Daconil 2787 tank mix
Will give you consistent performance
against brown patch and dollar spot—the
two most troublesome diseases on turf
each summer. You’ll also get strong action
on leaf spot and other important diseases.
It’s the kind of performance superinten­
dents depend on when a quality course
can’t be compromised.

warnings carefully.

- Superintendent Profile Paul Caswell

Trent Jones, and Geoffery Cornish. Greenwich Country Club is
a family oriented complete club. By complete, I mean they have
facilities not only for golf but for bowling, squash, skeet and
trap shooting, paddleball, tennis and swimming. Because of so
many other facilities, Paul feels that this presents a problem
when trying to obtain capital money. The money has to be
spread out over so many areas of the club.
Paul has begun a minor renovation and upgrading of current
aspects of the golf course layout. Last year Geoffrey Cornish
was brought in to take an overall look at the course. He made
quite a few recommendations which will be completed within
three years. They include reshaping and enlarging of traps, en­
larging and contouring of present greens by mowing only, 5000
yards of drainage and a five year tree planting program. This
tree planting program will not be intensive but strategic. Paul
feels that and open course is easier to maintain and provides an
easier layout for many club members who are not of a low han­
dicap caliber.
Paul feels the most important quality today a superintendent
can have is knowing where to set your priorities during the
growing season. Long hours and total dedication are a must for
success in this business.
I asked Paul, “What is the most rewarding aspect of our pro­
fession?” He responded, “Knowing in your heart that you did
the best job you could and feeling proud enough to have your
peers here to play golf.”
Paul also feels rewarded when people who worked for him go
on to successfully manage their own golf course. They include
Tim O’Neil, Scott Niven, John Lensing and Barry Anes to name
a few.
Paul currently lives on the property of Greenwich Country
Club. He feels this is an advantage because during the early eve­
ning he can drive the course and plan the work that has to be
done. He feels he can do his best thinking when the day is done.
Paul’s hobbies include golf, traveling and swimming. Many
thanks to Paul for this interview and good luck in the coming
season.

Greenwich Country Club
by Pat Vetere
Superintendent, Canyon Club
The May meeting of the MGCSA will be held at Greenwich
Country Club. Host Superintendent is Paul Caswell.
Paul was bom and raised in Southern Rhode Island. As a
youngster growing up, Paul got his first taste of golf caddying at
Point Judith Country Club in Narragansett, RI. At this time and
during his college years at the University of Rhode Island, Paul
had no interest in golf course maintenance. He earned a major
degree in Ag. Business with a minor in Ag. Science. While in­
terviewing for jobs his senior year, Paul decided that he wasn’t
an Ag salesman or interested in anything else available. It was at
this time that Dr. Skogley convinced Paul to take an assistant
superintendent job at Woodway C.C. under Sherwood Moore.
Paul stayed there two and half years before landing his first
superintendent’s job at Oronoque Village Golf Course in Strat­
ford, Connecticut. The Golf Course was still under construction
and therefore provided many challenges and problems most
superintendents would not have come across on established
courses. Paul feels strongly that every superintendent should
have the opportunity to view a new course come into being and
deal with the many problems. For example, all the endless hours
of removing rocks and stones that appeared in the fairways be­
cause of frost, ground settling and smoothness of seed bed re­
quired. Paul stayed four years at Oronoque Village before mov­
ing on to Greenwich Country Club in 1974 and he has been there
ever since.
Greenwich Country Club is one of the oldest golf courses in
the area. It was first founded as the Fairfield Golf Club in 1892
and was only nine holes informally laid out. In 1908 or so, it was
changed to Greenwich Country Club. Many architects have
done work on the course over the years to bring the course up to
the layout it is today. They include Seth Raynor, Donald Ross,

Slide Sets on Diseases, Insects and Weeds

Animal Behavior Can Teach Humans
Ways to Handle Stress Effectively

Three different 35 mm. slide sets, one each on insects, dis­
eases and weeds of turfgrass, are now available from the N. Y.
State Turfgrass Association. These slide sets are a useful tool in
the identification and diagnosis of turfgrass problems, and are
of value to turfgrass superintendents of golf courses.
The 66- slide set on turfgrass diseases, compiled by Dr.
Richard Smiley of Cornell University, pictures the characteris­
tics and effects of snow mold, leaf spot, dollar spot, rust, red
thread, slime mold, striped smut, mildew, fairy rings, brown
patch, melting out, fusarium and pythium. The 76- slide set on
insects of turfgrass in the northeast, compiled by Dr. Haruo
Tashiro of the NY State Agricultural Experiment Station, pic­
tures a variety of chafers, beetles, weevils, sod web worms and
chinch bugs and the damage they do to turf. The 80- slide set on
weeds, compiled by Dr. Arthur Bing and Robert O ’Knefski of
Cornell University, features line drawings and identifying
photos of 16 common weeds including annual bluegrass, crabgrass, goosegrass, tall fescue, netsedge, wild onion and garlic,
woodsorrel, clover, dandelion, ground ivy, plantain,
chickweed, knotweed and black medic.
Each slide set is $30 for NYSTA members and $35 for
NYSTA non-members, and includes a written key, handling
and third class postage. Add $1.50 per set for first class postage.
If membership in NYSTA is desired with the slide set order,
send an additional $25 and pay the member price for the slides.
Send your check made payable to NYSTA to the N.Y. State
Turfgrass Association, 210 Cartwright Blvd., Massapequa
Park, NY 11762.

Work-related stress can cause a lot of unhappiness, less-thanoptimum performance and, in extreme cases, illness. Dr. Char­
lotte Tatro, a Florida sociologist quoted at a recent conference,
suggests the harried manager can learn much from the way in
which animals react to stress. Among her observations:
• Know when to retreat from a losing battle. Most animals
stop fighting when there’s no longer any hope of winning. Many
competitive humans refuse to give up.
• Give yourself breathing room. Most animals stake out
their own territory and neither allow their territory to be invaded
nor invade the territory of others. Similarly, people should
avoid crowded, stress producing situations.
• Avoid bad environments. When conditions turn bad in
their environment, animals migrate to another. People could
avoid a lot of stress by following their example, and “migrating”
out of uncomfortable situations - unsatisfactory jobs, boring
friends, and so forth.
• Seek support from those close to you. When animals are
threatened, they huddle together for comfort and defense.
Likewise, people under stress can derive comfort from loved
ones.
• Simplify your lifestyle during hard times. Animals instinc­
tively lower their birth rate when food is scarce. People faced
with scarcity should pare down their spending in order to avoid
the stress of having to pay for unneeded luxuries.

TIMELESS PRODUCTS
Generations ago, superintendents
drove to the oceans, loaded their lorries
with seaweeds that had washed to
shore and carried them back to their
courses for composting and topdress­
ing. Others drove to local pasture lands
and stockyards for natural manures to
use as fertilizer.
The pioneers in golf course groom­
ing couldn’t have known that seaweeds
contain unique hormones that stimu­
late cell division and delay senescence
in turfgrasses. They simply knew that
areas treated with sea plant compost
seemed healthier and more resistant to
stress. Neither could they have known
that pasture manures contain unique
amino acids that are beneficial to turf.
They just observed that turf fertilized
with these materials was noticably
heartier, denser and greener.

TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY
REFINING THE BASICS
Today, researchers are identifying
the key constituents responsible for the
many benefits associated with these
natural materials. And sophisticated
processing technologies have been de­
veloped to extract and preserve these
beneficial constituents making pos­
sible a new generation of safe, natural,
highly effective products.
Each of our products has two things
in common. They meet the exacting
standards of consistent mesh size and
gallon-to-gallon consistency demanded
by today’s turf professionals. And in
their natural state they have proven
their effectiveness over, literally, cen­
turies of use.

Golf Tournaments To Benefit Turfgrass Research

Fund for Turfgrass Research

The New York State Turfgrass Association has added a sec­
ond golf tournament to the already successful Poa Annual Golf
Tournament held the last two years to raise funds for the
turfgrass research program at Cornell University. The addition
of the second tournament makes it geographically possible for
anyone in the state to participate in this event.
The Poa Annual Upstate Tournament will be held on Sep­
tember 10, 1984 at Fox Fire Country Club in Baldwinsville,
NY, outside of Syracuse. The Poa Annual Downstate Tourna­
ment will be held on September 17, 1984 at Spook Rock Golf
Club in Suffem, NY. Spook Rock has been rated as one of the
top 50 clubs in the country by Golf Digest Magazine. Both tour­
naments will have five flights, sponsorships, prizes and will in­
clude dinner.
Assisting the New York State Turfgrass Association with the
tournaments will be the Central New York Golf Course
Superintendents Association, The Finger Lakes Association of
Golf Course Superintendents, and the Hudson Valley Golf
Course Superintendents Association.
For further information, contact (Upstate) Mr. William
Stark, Cortland Country Club, P.O. Box 202, Homer, NY
13077 or (Downstate) Mr. Steve Smith, I & E Supply, 66 Ema
Avenue, Box 9, Milford, CT 06460.

The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America
and the United States Golf Association have joined together in a
joint effort to raise funds to support turfgrass research.
GCSAA supports the unprecendented research project in­
itiated by USGA to develop and produce quality turfgrass that
will thrive with minimum water and maintenance. GCSAA
President James W. Timmerman, in a message to superinten­
dents, said, “Accelerated research leading to the devlopment of
grasses that are drought tolerant, less costly and easier to main­
tain are crucial to golf’s survival.”
The first phase of this research is being implemented in 1984
through a $332,000 commitment by the USGA. Over the next
ten years, $5 million will be needed to accomplish this much
needed research.
GCSAA and USGA are jointly urging their members and all
others interested in the future of golf to contribute to this re­
search to insure that green golf courses and the game of golf will
always be a part of our lives.
“It is really important to us in working with GCSAA on this
joint project. It is the greatest cooperative effort ever between
USGA and GCSAA - it is truly a new era. The joint project is
important, not only to us, but the cementing force is what it will
bring to the future of golf,” so said William H. Bengeyfield, Na­
tional Director, USGA Green Section.
Individuals and organizations interested in supporting
turfgrass research may wish to contact Mr. Don Spencer,
USGA Golf House, Far Hills, NJ 07931 for further details on
this joint effort.

As an association representing the golf course superinten­
dents of America, we are looking for both scientific and general
articles related to the golf course and its maintenance. Our
editorial scope is wide-ranging and would embrace personality
pieces on people involved with course maintenance in the pre­
sent or in the past.
Mechanical: Manuscripts should be typed on a 50-space line
(1st margin at 20, second at 70). Double-space between lines.
We use a blend of Associated Press and magazine style for Golf
Course Management.
Language: Even the most scientific articles should be written
in simple, conversational style - using verbal illustrations to
make a point. We stress short sentences, short words and short
paragraphs. (A mono-syllable is better than poly-syllables.)
Photographs: Both black and white and color are accepted,
although we prefer color. Ektachrome transparencies or slides
are preferred over Kodachrome. If the slides are of exceptional
value, we prefer that you send us dupes of the slide. When this is
done the dupes should be made at a custom color lab and you
should order “repro-quality” dupes.
Prints should be made by a custom color lab, not quick-stop
photo shops. Finish should be smooth rather than a matte.
Other art should be in ink. If you have illustration ideas but
lack artistic talent, we will accept rough ideas in pencil for con­
sideration.
Golf Course Management is planned well ahead of its 12 pub­
lication dates. To get an article in the May issue, your manu­
script should be in by March 10.

Revisions to USGA Golf Handicap System
Announced

6. A club which is not a member of a golf association, but
follows the USGA System, must adopt the same playing season
and revision schedule as the golf association having jurisdiction
in its area.
7. For purposes of handicapping, definitions of a “golf as­
sociation,” “golf club” and “Handicap Committee” have ben
added, which has made it clear that clubs comprising publiccourse golfers can qualify to use the USGA Handicap System.
The new USGA Handicap Manual is available from the
USGA, Golf House, Far Hills, NJ 07931, for $2.

The United States Golf Association Handicap System has
been revised, effective April 1.
“Our volunteer committees and staff have worked hard to re­
fine the USGA Handicap System to ensure that the USGA Han­
dicaps issued by authorized golf clubs and amateur golf associa­
tions continue to be respected throughout the country,” James
R. Hand, USGA President, said.
Revisions to the USGA Handicap Manual include:
1. Consecutive nine-hole scores are to be combined and
posted as an 18-hole score for handicap purposes. Previously,
many golfers could not obtain a USGA handicap because they
rarely played an 18-hole round. “We belive that requiring con­
secutive nine-hole scores to be combined and used for handicap
purposes will help public course players to be able to establish
USGA Handicaps and enjoy the game of golf even more,” Hand
said.
2. Reference to men’s and women’s tees has been elimi­
nated. Henceforth, terms for tees will be Back (Blue), Middle
(White) and Forward (Red). USGA Course Ratings for men and
women can be assigned to any set of tees, and all golfers can
play from the tees they most enjoy. Authorized golf associations
have been requested to issue additional USGA Course Ratings
to facilitate this change.
3. Sections on Course Rating have been rewritten in view of
the new USGA Course Rating System, under which various ob­
stacles are evaluated to determine the final USGA Course Rat­
ing.
4. A new procedure for allocating handicap strokes to the
holes of a course, called “Method Based on Scores,” has been
added.
5. The USGA Handicap Formula for determining the
number of scores to be used when less than 20 scores have been
returned has been changed, effective Jan. 1, 1985. Presently, if
a player has returned eight scores, the lowest four are used to
calculate USGA Handicaps. Under the new formula, less than
50 percent of the best scores returned are used until the player
has returned 20 scores.

2,4-D and Agent Orange Back on Trial
2,4-D and Agent Orange are back on trial again, as the five
year old lawsuit continues. This time, a new judge will be pres­
iding over the case; Judge Jack B. Weinstein. He has set a trial
date for May 7, 1984.
Until Judge Weinstein took over the case from George Pratt,
who was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, the litigation
had centered on the government-contractor issue. Now how­
ever, Judge Weinstein says the question of whether Agent
Orange is really to blame for the Veterans’ illnesses and disor­
ders, should be addressed first. This will also bring 2,4-D back
into the trial. It is hoped, however, that as the trial proceedings
begin to examine scientific data, 2,4-D will once again be
deemed irrelevant to the trial.
Just last February 1983 in an Agent Orange hearing in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the
court’s Special Master Sol Schreiber said “. . . the plaintiffs do
not contend that it’s material to the issue, (and to deal with 2,4D) would be burdensome and a waste of effort and expense.”
The Agent Orange litigation began five years ago with a class
action suit. Nine companies and the government are being sued
for alleged health disorders of Vietnam veterans and birth de­
fects resulting from exposure to Agent Orange. Agent Orange, a
mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, was sprayed from airplanes to
defoliate the Vietnam jungles, thus reducing the possibility of
enemy ambush.
