being maintained and research that has been done with funds obtained 
from NIH ? 
Dr. Jones. I can answer this in a general way only — yes. I would 
prefer to refer that question to someone else who is closer acquainted 
with it, although I can supply information to the committee at a later 
date, ifyou would like. 
Mr. Rogers of Florida. Thank you very much. 
Mr. Roberts. Thank you very much. 
The next witness is Mrs. Marie W. Woodard of the Woodard 
Research Corp. 
STATEMENT OF MARIE W. WOODARD, SECRETARY-TREASURER, 
NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA BRANCH, ANIMAL CARE PANEL 
Mrs. Woodard. Honorable Chairman and members of the commit- 
tee, my name is Marie W. Woodard. I am secretary-treasurer of the 
National Capital Area Branch of the Animal Care Panel. I have a 
master of science degree from Georgetown University in physiological 
chemistry. I was formerly employed by the U.S. Food and Drug Ad- 
ministration, where I conducted experiments to demonstrate the Safety 
of cosmetic and cosmetic ingredients by the use of laboratory animals. 
For the past 5 years I have been director of large animal toxicology 
for the Woodard Research Corp. I am also the mother of five children 
with normal arms and legs. 
We believe that restrictive legislation such as proposed in the bills 
H.R. 1937 and H.R. 3556 would inhibit research to establish the safety 
of chemicals and drugs and would hamper education in animal care 
procedures. 
The resolution which I am about to read was adopted unanimously 
by the National Capital Area Branch, Animal Care Panel in March 
1962 : 
A Resolution Adopted by the National Capital Area Branch, Animal 
Care Panel 
Whereas the National Capital Area Branch, Animal Care Panel was organized 
for the promotion of the exchange of ideas and information regarding the care fof 
animals used in biomedical laboratories ; 
Whereas the membership of this organization represents a cross-section of 
personnel in government, private, and industrial laboratories, as well as indi- 
viduals interested in animal welfare; 
Whereas the membership is agreed that research on living animals is essential 
to the development of useful, comforting, and often lifesaving drugs for domestic 
animals and pets as well as man ; for the development of chemicals which will 
control insects and insect-borne diseases affecting plants and animals without 
harm to the protected animals or man ; for the evaluation of the safety of chem- 
icals that make possible modern food processing, storage, and distribution ; and 
for the development of lifesaving procedures in the medical treatment of man 
and animals ; and 
Whereas it is generally recognized that any such experiment is no better than 
the health and well-being of the subject under study ; 
Resolved, That this panel continue its efforts as well as encourage similar 
organizations throughout the country to study factors which are important for 
proper animal care ; 
Resolved, That promotion of education and training of individuals for animal 
care be continued ; 
Resolved, That restrictive legislation such as H.R. 1937 and H.R. 3656 is un- 
necessary and would serve to inhibit research in education in animal care pro- 
cedures ; and
