STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. New Mexico may become the first state to have an official aroma. A bill in the state Legislature would make green chiles roasting in the fall the signature scent.

Colorado was unavailable for comment. I think they all went out to dinner. It's MORNING EDITION.
