Recommendations

• Immediately suspend all experiments involving squirrel monkeys, marmosets, or individually housed macaque monkeys at Harvard/NENPRC.
   
• Make health care records and experimental protocols for all primates at NENPRC/Harvard available for evaluation. Give access to NENPRC facilities to media representatives and SAEN staff.
   
• Independently evaluate the care of all primates at NENPRC from both veterinary and psychological viewpoints.
   
• Review all drug addiction projects at NENPRC/Harvard concerning unnecessary duplication. Examine these projects versus the 76 currently funded addiction experimentation projects in primates utilizing cocaine or heroin. Terminate unnecessarily duplicative projects.
   
• Institute congressional investigative hearings to examine conditions within the eight laboratories which constitute the Primate Research Center System.
