Dear Representative Brett Guthrie, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce,

<h3>We call on you to grant the bipartisan COMPACT Act (H.R. 10522) an official committee hearing.</h3> <h3>Dogs and cats in laboratories endure painful surgeries, toxic chemicals, and invasive experiments. Many are killed when the studies end.</h3> <h3>This bill would restrict the use of federal taxpayer funds for biomedical research involving live dogs and cats, with specific exceptions.</h3> <h3>We urge you schedule a hearing for H.R. 10522 so the committee can consider this legislation and help reduce animal suffering.</h3>
