  We highlight topical issues in hyperon spectroscopy that will be accessible
when a secondary beam of neutral kaons is created in Hall D at Jefferson Lab as
proposed to the JLab Program Advisory Committee. The new beam will have a flux
of $10^4$ $K_L$/s. The reaction products will be analyzed in the GlueX
experimental setup. We point out which physical questions need to be answered
and suggest a number of novel experiments. In particular we suggest to measure
the presently disputed SU(3) structure of the $\Lambda(1405)$, to search for
Pentaquarks mit exotic quantum numbers and to search for baryons belonging to
the SU(6) 20-plet representation.
