DESCRIPTION:from June 23-25 trade ministers from all around the world will be meeting 
 in Sacramento, CA. at the invitation of US Agriculture Secretary Anne 
 Veneman. (http://www.fas.usda.gov/icd/stconf/conf_main.htm)\nThis WTO-level 
 meeting is designed to promote the biotech agenda in preparation for this 
 fall's WTO ministerial meeting in Cancún, Mexico.\n\nMinisters invited 
 from over 180 nations will be there promoting genetically engineering and 
 other biotech technologies, along with free trade. The U.S. Agency for 
 International Development and Department of State are jointly sponsoring 
 the event with USDA. This conference will be a large step in forcing the 
 United States' biotech and free trade agendas on the rest of the world. 
 \n\nCome to the long haul infoshop on Thursday to help organize against 
 this meeting. Seattle '99 brought the WTO into the national spotlight, 
 let's keep the pressure up on the WTO. Let's also bring genetically 
 modified foods into the national spotlight. \n\n\n\n
