Comment 1: I vote against adopting the new Guide as policy, maintaining adherence to the 1996 Guide. No substantive revisions to the existing Guide are needed. Comment 2: I recommend at least a 4-year time frame (e.g., 2015) for whatever plan is adopted. This would take into account the expense of a variety of cage size and housing requirements at a time of great financial difficulty for research institutions.
