I Producs Association members concentrated on future plans for both the association and the world's tropical hardwood forest reserves at their diamond anniversary convention in Kauai, Hi.
President Charles Robinson officially opened the convention. Kent Bownman, Lykes Brothers Steamship Co., as a resident of Hawaii gave the official welcome.
Russ Haan, chairman of the legislative advisory committee, highlighted industry concerns in the gcnrernmenal and regulatory arenas, reminding members of the general review now underway with the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences and the annual review for producs to be considered shortly for GSP duty free treatment in the coming year.
He also updated the status of the Harmonized System, a new international nomenclature system for imported and exported commodities, which will be implemented Jan. l, 1988. GAIT (General Agreement ofTariffs and Trade) negotiations, which began in April, are expected to be completed in September.
Keynoter W. L. "Ozzie" Bender presented an analysis oftoday's forest reserves and the future in "World's Trop ical Hardwood Supply - Today and In The Funrre." He urged members to consider sponsoring research in biogenetic reproduction of commercial tropical hardwood species to insure their continuing existence. The research, devoted to achieving better and faster growing trees for future harvesting, would be similar to that which has been successful for softu,oods.
Harry Buckley, Pat Brown Lumber Corp., was elecred president for the coming year. A member of the board of directors for the past five years, he has been in the imported plywood business since t954.
Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort, Tucson. Az.. was selected as the location fior the March 2:1. l9gl. convention. This year's convention was held March 2-8 at the Waiohai Hotel.
