AETA VICTORY
FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH!
Moments
ago, the House of Representatives passed S. 3880,
the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, after the Senate passed the bill
in September. This was in no small part due to the tremendous amount
of outreach conducted by the biomedical research community. Since
April, you sent over 10,000 letters to Congress on this issue! You
made this happen, and our hats are off to you.
Thank
you for being so responsive to our many requests for action. The AETA
was the product of meticulous negotiations between the House and the
Senate and Republicans and Democrats alike. The bill is expected to
be signed by the President, and we will keep you posted as that time
draws near. It is our sincere hope that this legislation will enable
you to continue to work towards improving both human and animal health
and saving lives!
Thank
you!
