Comment 1: I recommend that the 8th edition in it's current revision NOT be adopted as a standard for the use and care of animals in a laboratory setting. Furthermore, I recommend the 1996 standards stay in effect until the 8th edition can be further refined. Comment 2: I vote against this timeline. I recommend at least 4 years (March 31, 2015) given the expense of a variety of cage size and housing requirements during a time of great financial difficulty for research institutions.
