So the Armed Forces Pesticide Board, who as we saw kept track of the use of pesticides/herbicides throughout the decades, says here in 1968 that anything in the Federal Stock Catalog can be used and if in the Federal Stock Catalog are considered Standard items!
Thank you to the researcher who found this Federal Stock Catalog at NARA. She spent painstaking hours and hours looking for proof.
Herbicide Orange could be ordered by any federal facility to be used for weed management by anyone as it was, according to the Armed Forces Pesticide Board, a “standard” item in the Federal Stock Catalog.
