Keyes said Canada's desire for a go-slow approach to the new rules had won support from governors around New England and in other border states, and that several state legislatures were working on or had passed resolutions containing the same message.

He said he hoped Vermont lawmakers would pass a currently pending joint resolution that would put them on record as opposing the new rules.
