Not all the infected material is usable in plywood. At the same time, plywood is used for key structural applications in millions of homes and thousands of larger buildings like schools and supermarkets.

Agnew, speaking on behalf of DFPA's Management committee, asked trade buyers to support the amendment. He said:
"With the raw material currently available to the indus- try, the maintenance of our historically high quality of finished product grows more complex. Despite these conditions, quality is this industry's number one objective.
"Over the past 2O years, our association's technical people have done an outstanding job of administering workable industry-wide quality controls.
