> October 19, 2005
>Dear Delegate,
>Yesterday I, along with Steve Gladstone and Jim Holt, met with Senator
>Rick Santorum (R-PA)and Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-PA), sponsors of the PAWS
>legislation in the US
>Senate and House of Representatives. We also met briefly with Senator Richard
>Durbin, lead
>Senate co-sponsor of PAWS, and then had a more lengthy discussion with Senator
>Durbin's
>Legislative Assistant.
>All three legislators were very open to the AKC's efforts to suggest
>modifications to PAWS. We will work closely with their offices over the coming
>days and weeks to develop amendments to PAWS language that will clarify the
>legislation and more clearly target those who it was
>intended to cover without putting burdens and obligations on responsible
>breeders who maintain
>high standards for the care and conditions of their dogs, and on shelter and
>rescue organizations.
>We were extremely pleased that all three legislators said they are very
>willing to work with us and are delighted we are part of the legislative
>process.
>In addition, Senator Santorum confirmed that the Senate Subcommittee on
>Research, Nutrition and General Legislation will conduct a hearing on PAWS,
>very likely in early to mid-November.
>An announcement from the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and
>Forestry on the details of that hearing is expected shortly and I will
>certainly share them with you then.
>Sincerely,
>Ronald H. Menaker
