To amend the Illinois and Michigan Canal Heritage Corridor Act of 1984
to modify the boundaries of the corridor, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 2, 1995
Mr. LIPINSKI introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Resources
A BILL
To amend the Illinois and Michigan Canal Heritage Corridor
Act of 1984 to modify the boundaries of the corridor,
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF BOUNDARIES.
Section 104(b)(1) of the Illinois and Michigan Canal
National Heritage Corridor Act of 1984 (16 U.S.C. 461
note) is amended to read as follows:
‘‘(1) The corridor shall consist of the Joliet Army
Ammunition Plant in the State of Illinois and the areas
depicted on—
‘‘(A) the map entitled ‘Illinois and Michigan
Canal National Heritage Corridor’, dated May 1983
and numbered IMC–80,000;

SEC. 2. EXTENSION OF COMMISSION.
Section 111(a) of the Illinois and Michigan Canal Na-
tional Heritage Corridor Act of 1984 (98 Stat. 1456; 16
U.S.C. 461 note) is amended by striking out ‘‘ten’’ and
inserting ‘‘20’’.
Æ
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Animal Experimen-
tation Right To Know Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Over 21,000,000 animals are used every
year in laboratory experiments and tests conducted
by research facilities subject to the Animal Welfare
Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.), and many of these ex-
periments and tests are painful, distressful and
cause permanent injury or death to the animals.
(2) In addition to animal experimentation and
testing conducted by private research facilities, the
Federal Government spends over $5,000,000,000
annually on experiments and tests involving the use
of animals.
(3) The Federal Government must bear the re-
sponsibility for making information on animal ex-
perimentation complete, coherent, and readily acces-
sible to the American public.
(4) While the Department of Agriculture cur-
rently requires all registered research facilities con-
ducting animal research to file an annual report, the
compilation of these reports fails to provide com-
prehensive annual profiles of laboratory animal use
in the United States.
