Senator Santorum's staff and Senate legislative counsel have completed a draft of the revised PAWS bill. The draft was provided to the US Department of Agriculture and the 26 Senate co-sponsors of PAWS at a briefing last week for their review and comment. I have it on fairly good authority that the Dept of Ag. wants nothing to do with this bill. Not planning on banking on that however.... writing more letters and making more phone calls!
