WASHINGTON (AP) - Wenk's Yellow Hots, Pico de Gallos and the
unpredictably hot San Juan "Tsiles" chili peppers have safely arrived
at a "doomsday" vault in the Arctic.

Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., says he and other congressmen delivered seeds
from the pepper varieties on Sunday to a Norwegian seed bank on the
remote Svalbard archipelago.

Operators say the Svalbard Global Seed Vault has the world's most
diverse repository of crop seeds and is a safeguard against war or
natural disasters that could wipe out food crops.

The seeds came from a Department of Agriculture collection in
Colorado. In addition to peppers, seeds for plants including peanuts
and melons were sent to the vault.

---------------------

To me, this is one of the most important things civilized man has
done........preserve the seeds of Earths' bounty.
