A Project of The Humane Society of the United States and The Fund for Animals
The 106th Congress

in Review
IIBRE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE PACE OF
progress on behalf of animals has piclced up
ver the past two years. The 106th U.S.
ongrcss, which spanned January 1999 through
December 2000, yielded 15 separate pro-animal
legislaLive measures, more than ever before. Along
with the numerous victories tor animals, there
were some defeats and plenty of unfinished
busine.c;s Lo command our attention in the future.
The Victories
Companion Animals
t/ Dog and Cat Fur Ban: Strong IegislaLion to
ban the Import, export. and lnLersLaLe sale or
dog and cat fur products In the United States
was included in a trade package, Public Law
(P.L.) 106-476, signed by President Clinton in
November 2000. Sen. William Roth (R--DE) and
Rep. Jerry Kleczka (D-WI) were tireless
champions for this ban, which followed an
18-month HSUS undercover investigation
exposing the international trade in cat and dog
fur products, including coats, accessories,
figurines, and novelty items. Dog and cat fur
products are marketed under phony names such
as gae-wolf, sobaki, Asian jackal, wildcat,
goyangl, and ketzenfelle; some products have no
content label at all, so that consumers will not
realize what they're buying. The law provides
penalties of up to $10,000 per violation of the ban,
along with forfeiture of seized goods. Repeat violators face the
possibility of being prohibited from further sales of any fur product.s.
V" Airline Transport: ln March 2000, Congress adopted some
provisions of the Safe Air Travel for An1mals Act within P.L. 106-181,
a law concerning the Federal Aviation Administration. The enacted
provisions, originally introduced by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (0-NJ)
and Rep. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and helped by Rep. Peter Del<'azlo
(D-OR), require airlines to (1) produce monthly reports of all
incidents involving animal loss, injury, or death so consumers can
compare safety records and (2) improve animal care training for
baggage handlers. The airline industry blocked other provisions that
would have required cargo holds to be relroflLtcd for climate control
and ventilation and allowed steeper penaILies for the loss of animals
than for ordinary baggage.
t/ Military Dogs: P.L. 106-446, signed Into law In November 2000,
allows retired military dogs to be adopted rather than euLhani'1.ed,
This scorecard Is published by The Humane society of the united states
CHSUSl and The Fund for Animals. It has been endorsed by the American
Humane Association, American society for the Prevention of cruelty to
Animals, Animal Protection Institute, Doris Day Animal League, and society
for Animal Protective Legislation.
2001 Tt'1e HSUS All rights reserved Prfnted on recycled paper
as had been required by Department of Defense policy. The effon

was led by Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) and Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH).
Cruelty Issues
Crush Vldcos: Enacted in December 1999, P.L. 106-152 bans

interstate commerce in and commercial gain from depictions of
animal cruelty, including pornographic videos of women torturing
and crushing to death animals such as kittens, hamsters, chicks,
and turtles. Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA) led the way, with key help
from Sens. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Bob Smith (R-NH).
t/ Federal Law E11forcement A11lmals: Signed Into law In August
2000, P.L. 106-254 authorizes fines and mandatory jail time of up to
ten years for willfully assau!Ling, disfiguring, maiming, or killing a
federal police dog or horse. Thanks go to Rep. Jerry Weller (R-IL) and
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ).
Wildlife
Great Apes: P.L. 106-411, slgned lnLo law in November 2000,

authorizes $5 mlllion annually In grants for local wildlife projects in
Africa and Asia to protect highly endangered chimpanzees, bonobos,
gorillas, and orangut.ans. These species are vulnerable to extinction
In the wild within 20 years due to habitat destruction and poaching.

The t07th Congress: A Worl{ in Progress

WE TAKE STOCK OF TIIE 107TH CONGRESS TO
te, we see major achievements and serious
etbacks for animal protection issues. Tue First
Session or Congress yielded substantial progress
in securing funding to carry out a wide range of
federal animal prolecUon programs. !n the latter half of 2001,
the House and Senate Look up the massive farm bill deallng
with U.S. agricultural policy. We succeeded in getting a number
of anlmal protectlon measures included in the House and
Senate bills. But when the farm bill was completed in April
2002, it was a serious disappointment, delivering only one
major victory. The measures that did not remain on the farm
bill can be reconsidered. though, in the months left in the
107th Congress. We offer this scorecard as a snapshot of
a work in progress and to identify issues worthy of
addltlonal acLion before adjournment In fall 2002.
Funding
Our biggest victories came during the annual
appropriations process, when Congress takes up
the spending bills that fund government
operations. Here are some highlights from
2001 for the fiscal year (FY) 2002 budget.
i\11inwl Welfare Act R11force11w11l:
Congress approved a record increase of

$5.15 million to better enforce this key law
intended to ensure minimum humane
standards of care for millions or animals at
approximately 10,000 sites. including puppy
mills, laboratories, zoos. circuses. and airlines.
The new funding, provided in the Agriculture
Approprlations Act, Public Law (P.L.) 107-76,
allows the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USD/\.) to hire
additional inspectors, strengthen follow-up investigations, and
identify more unlicensed operators and other illegal activity. Broad
bipartisan support helped win this victory: 28 senators led by Agriculture Appropriations Act. P.L. 107-76, to begin addressing

A Note on the Scorecard
Many animal protection Issues never receive a recorded vote In

congress. some are enacted by voice vote and some languish. To
more accurately measure 1eg!s1ators support for the broad range
of anlmal Issues, we count cospansorshlps of certain keY bllls along
with rerorded votes. cosponsoring a bl\! is a meaningful way tor
legislators to help the blll advance In congress. we also count those
who signed !otters seeking Increased funding to ef'lforce key animal
welfare laws, as this Is a tangible wav for legislators to help Improve
the llves Of mllllons Of anlmals. For this scorecard we are not
assigning a numenca\ score to each iegJslator ln deference to
the disruption manv congresslonal offices Faced last fall as a
result of anthrax contamination.

massive quantities of anublotics to compensaLe for mhumane
conditions. Factory farms routinely mix antibioLics inLo Lhe feed of
healthy pigs, cows, chickens, and turkeys Lo speed growth and
prcvenL disease in their unsanitary, overcrowded, and stressful
warehouses. Such "nontherapeutlc" use in farm animals accounts
for an estimated 70 percent of all antlhlotlcs used In this country,
contributing Lo Lhe growing problem of anLiblotic resistance that
threat.ens human and animal health.
llorscmcat: H.R. 3781, introduced

by Rep. Connie Morella (R-MD), to
prohib1L Lhe slaughter, import,
export, trade, and transport of
horses ror human consumption.
Rep. Thomas Reynolds (R-NY)
introduced a less far-reaching bill,
H.R. 2622, which does not prohibll
the export of horses for human
consumption, although the markcL
for U.S.-produccd horsemeaL is

Many animal protection issues never receive a recorded vote in
congress. some are enacted by voice vote, and some languish.
To more accurately measure legislators' support for the broad
range of animal Issues. we count cosponsorships of cettain l<ey
bills along with recorded votes. cosponsoring a bill is a meaningful
way for legislators to help the bill advance In congress. we also
count those who signed letters seeking Increased funding to
enforce l<ev animal welfare laws, as this is a tangible way tor leg1sla
tors to help improve the lives of mtllions of animals Scores are
given as a percentage of the total number of items counted (five
for the Senate, ten for the Housel For example, a senator who was
pro-animal on tour of the five scored items received a score of ao,
and a representative who was pro-animal on nine of the ten scored
items received a score of 90. Members who led as pnme sponsors
of pro-animal leg1slat1on received "extra credit" equivalent to one
vote or cosponsorsh1p, unless they already had a score of i00-111
which case, their scores appear 1n bold with a plus sign

Public Opinion in Key States with Largest Tennessee Walking Horse Industry
A poll conducted in December 2012 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research found that 75% of Tennessee voters and 69% of Kentucky voters
support federal legislation to strengthen the Horse Protection Act by ending the current, failed system of industry self-policing, banning
the use of chains and stacks (devices implicated in the soring process) on horses at shows, and increasing penalties for violating the law.
Legislators
Sponsor of original Horse Protection Act of 1970: Former Senator Joseph Tydings
Current bipartisan cosponsors of the PAST Act: 57 Senators on S. 1406 / 297 Representatives on H.R. 1518 (354 total)

Celebrities signed the following statement:

I support the introduction of this legislation because it will make it harder for people to hurt horses for financial gain. Forty years after the
original Horse Protection Act of 1970 was passed to outlaw the practice of soring, horses are still subjected to pain and suffering, merely to
produce an exaggerated high-stepping gait for the show ring. Its time to bring stronger protection to the horses we love and increase the
penalties for soring so this abhorrent practice stops once and for all. I urge Congress to pass the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act.

Here is another Congressman's Facebook page that is set up a little better I think. I don't think he is doing paid marketing
but it is a little more along the lines of what I would expect a Congressman to be doing on Facebook.
But the main reason I'm emailing you is that I wanted to know if you would like me to pick up a printer for you to replace
the old one. I figure it would be easier for me to pie it out than for you to have to go get one.
Just let me know,

Re: John Koenig's Plan
Chris,
Thank you for airing your concerns. I know you have Ed's best interests at heart.
Ed not I is the person handling this.
I will say that the goal is to substantially increase followers on both Facebook and Twitter. That said, it must be done in
a tasteful, politically savvy way.
Happy New Year!

strategy on doing so. First off, I am disappointed that John has chosen to bypass Cory and I and go directly to you and
the Congressman without Cory or I being allowed to provide our rationale behind decisions. Our decisions have always
been with the Congressman's best interests in mind (neither of us profit off Mr. Whitfield's campaign).

featuring a surveillance video of a store clerk putting a gun in someone's mouth; a story about controversy surrounding
a transgendered student attending a school dance; and a story that had racial undertones. It is my belief that stories like
these are in poor taste, which is why we chose not to post many of the stories that John has suggested.
>
>Secondly, John told Cory and I in our final meeting that he would get our Face book and Twitter followers to 10,000
each on a $10,000 budget. He has fallen far short of those goals. So far, with $5,000 spent, John has gathered us
roughly 1,200 Facebook followers, and 562 Twitter followers.

>John is also not distinguishing between campaign social media with the official social media to for the sake of his
argument. For example, he said that Mr. Whitfield has the lowest numbers of followers in Kentucky. This is not true, as
Rep. Guthrie has far less followers than us.

Secretary (I will forward you the e-mail I sent to the Congressman explaining this.) I would love to sit down with you and
snow you the difference since I've started.
>
>Regarding John's e-mail that states, " ... in the event that you all decide you want to contract the operations of the
Facebook/Twitter to me." I would welcome an opportunity to sit down to explain our strategy. However, if you choose
to give full control to John, I would just caution you to be mindful of the controversial topics that he suggested we post
in the past. Social media is a great tool when used properly, but it can be extremely damaging when not used properly.
I think it belongs with people with experience in politics and campaigns.

his public image the best I can.

As the new Congress gets underway, I wanted to make sure you had a few staff updates from Senator Vitter's office.
As you know, Senator Vitter is now the ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. As
such, Zak Baig, Senator Vitter's Legislative Director, will be the EPW Staff Director. Travis Johnson, Vitter's Banking
Committee Legislative Assistant has taken over as Legislative Director and will continue to handle Senator Vitter's work
on the Senate Banking Committee. Bryan Zumwalt, who many of you worked with on Energy and Environmental issues
will be the Chief Counsel on the EPW Committee, Charles Brittingham has moved over to EPW to handle Corps of
Engineers, and Kathryn Fulton, the Senator's scheduler, has joined EPW as the Director of Operations. Senator Vitter's
new Washington Scheduler is Stephanie Belk, and any Louisiana related scheduling requests are handled by Ad min
Director Julie Dyer. All of their contact info is listed below.

Kentucky delegation, Appropriations family, and assorted friends,
I wanted to inform you before it's posted on my Facebook fan page that my service to Chairman Hal Rogers will
conclude in mid-December. Can't say enough good things about my 11-year work experience with the senior statesman
from Kentucky, adequately applaud his fantastic DC and District team, or fully express admiration and appreciation to
the Approps Committee staff, Kentucky delegation, and many others including you. I hope to get to many of you
individually over the next few weeks to express my supreme gratitude.
With a baby girl very much on the way, this winter is simply the right time for me to take on new challenges and start
saving for that wedding.
Much more on me later, in the interim, I'm committed to continuing the good fight for southern and eastern
Kentuckians and helping the Chairman find a quality Chief replacement in the next few months. Should you have any
high quality and caliber candidates, please quietly and discretely direct them my way.
Sincerely,
Michael R Higdon

I apologize for the incorrect time in the travel packet. The plane leaves at 1:59pm as it says in the calendar entry. US
Airways changed the time of the flight after I had already booked it but I have checked the reservation online and
confirmed it leaves at 1:59pm tomorrow.
