Plagiarism?

I realize that the information that formed this article is in the public domain, however the article is a word for word copy of the first of the two references cited. Does this constitute plagiarism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.165.120.64 (talk) 21:23, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is not plagiarism, just normal practice on Wikipedia with information from the United States Government. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:57, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
