Past records indicate that legislation, be it extreme or moderate in design, will be the goal of the proponents of restrictive animal legislation in the 89th Congress. Bills similar to those introduced in past sessions almost surely will appear again. If the President succeeds in soliciting congressional support for his goals of the Great Society, Congress may have little time for other legislative matters. The medical and scientific forces that oppose the use of federal legislation as a means of upgrading the standards of animal care and improving the validity of the results of biological research can be expected to continue their support of voluntary control through education and research. Continued support of the effective "task forces" and public relations programs that developed during the 88th Congress must come from all segments of the organized health professions.
过去的记录表明,无论设计得极端还是温和,立法都将成为第89届国会中动物保护立法支持者的目标。类似于往届会议提出的法案几乎肯定会再次出现。如果总统成功争取到国会对其“伟大社会”目标的支持,国会可能就没多少时间处理其他立法事务了。预计反对将联邦立法作为提高动物护理标准和提升生物学研究结果有效性手段的医学和科学界力量,会继续通过教育和研究来支持自愿控制。有组织的医疗行业的所有部门都必须继续支持在第88届国会期间发展起来的有效的“特别工作组”和公共关系项目。
