Comment 1: NIH should NOT adopt the eighth edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. This guide is too long, it will increase the expense of research, and recommendations such as limiting food and liquid restriction are NOT based on empirical research. Comment 2: NIH should NOT adopt the eighth edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. However, if this guide is adopted, compliance should not be required for a minimum of 4 years, given the expenses associated with compliance.
