THIS IS A LETTER I JUST GOT FROM OUR FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN:
Dear Mrs. ____:
Thank you for your recent correspondence in support of H.R. 3858, the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act. I appreciate hearing from you.
H.R. 3858, introduced by Representative Tom Lantos, amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to ensure that State and local emergency preparedness operational plans address the needs of individuals with household pets and service animals following a major disaster or emergency. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and while I am not a member of this committee, I will be sure to keep your views in mind should this legislation come to the House Floor for a vote.
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your views. If you are experiencing difficulties with a federal agency, are interested in legislation that is pending before Congress or merely wish to express your opinions, please visit my website at

May God continue to bless America.
Sincerely,
Adam Putnam
Member of Congress
