SOCIETY FOR AN IMAL PROTECTIVE LEGISLATION

To Humanitarians:

P. 0. Box 37 19 Georgetown Station

Wash ington , D. C. 20007

November 27, 1970

Your letters have brought more progress. Thanks £or writing! The Committee on Agriculture or the u.s. House ot Representatives voted unanimousl{ in ravor ot an excellent bill combining the Foley and wbltehurst b lls to broaden and strengthen The Laboratory Animal Wel£are Act o£ 1966, P.L. 89-544. Congressman Poage, Chairman ot the Commdttee, and author or P.L. 89-544, has added his name as a co-sponsor or the new bill, H.R. 19846, The Animal Wel£are Act ot 1970. Congressman Purcell, Chairman or the Subcommittee, and ever1 member o£ the Subcommittee, including Congressman Foley whose devoted etrorts played so important a part in bringing the bill thus rar, are co-sponsors, as is Congressman Whitehurst, initiator or the legislation. This wonder£ul unanimity bodes well £or the bill's chances in the short time remaining be£ore Congress adjourns. But it is essential that humanitarians let their Congressmen and senatOrs-know ot their strone; support. -- - - -

Senator Robert Dole, who was a member or the House Agriculture Committee in 1966 when The Laboratory Animal Wel£are Act was passed, has introduced a Senate bill, s. 4539, identical to the new House bill. Like the very similar Cranston-Magnuson-Spong bill, s. 4344, it has been re£erred to the Senate Commerce Committee where we hope £or action as soon as possible. In emphasizing the need tor the bill, Senator Dole spoke from personal experience remarking that, "Senators would be amazed at the conditions under which some animals are transported £rom one location to another - whether ror sale or exhibition. This law would put a stop to the abuse or these animals."

PLEASE WRITE TODAY TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND BOTH YOUR SENATORS URGING THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT OF 1970. The bill number in the House of Representatives: H.R. 19846. The bill number in the Senate: s. 4539. A list o£ all Representatives and Senators is enclosed.

Then please write to as many members of the Senate Commerce Committee as you can. It you have already written to the members or the Subcommittee on Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment, please write now to other members or the rull Committee. Subcommittee members names are starred.

would broaden the existing Laboratory Animal Welfare Act, P.L. 89-544, to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to set humane standards for all kinds of war.m-blooded animals throughout their stay in the laboratory, in zoos, circuses, animal dealers' premises, and the wholesale pet industry. The legislation requires appropriate use of analgesic and tranquilizing drugs for laboratory animals. It strengthens enforcement provisions and sets stiff penalties for animal dealers who have tried to keep the dedicated inspectors of the u.s. Department of Agriculture off their premises by threatening them and sometimes actually shooting at them. This legislation must be passed!

Please keep writing till The Animal Welfare Act of 1970 is the law.

Good news for walking horses: The u.s. House of Representatives passed s. 2543 to stop soring of walking horses. The bill has gone to the President for signature. Your letters helped. Now we must work to bring protection to the other warm-blooded animals.

If you can use extra copies of this letter to give to neighbors and friends who will help by writing too, let us know, and they will be sent.

Sincerely,

Madeleine Bemelmans, President Christine Stevens, Secretary
