Since the publication of the committee's interim report, the Department of Animal Health has eliminated the backlog of preventive-medicine procedures, reviewed and updated its preventive-medicine protocols, and established a schedule for preventive-medicine procedures. In addition, the senior management of the zoo has established completion of scheduled preventive-medicine procedures as a monthly performance measure for both the CRC and Rock Creek Park veterinarians.

Internal Smithsonian documents also indicate that as early as 1993, the Smithsonian was aware that the zoo was subject to federal animal-welfare regulations -- "the Smithsonian Institution is subject to the Animal Welfare Act for all research involving vertebrate animals and is subject to the Public Health Service Policies for PHS-funded research" (Smithsonian Institution, Steiner memo, July 23, 1993) -- but was not in compliance with these regulations (Smithsonian Institution, Foss memo, August 17, 1993)

In addition, the strategic plan lacks any actionable plan for achieving its stated 1-year and 5-year goals. Without those elements, the committee doubts that the strategic plan can help the zoo to re-establish its preeminence in the zoo community and become "the Nation's Zoo." Summary After a decade-long decline in facilities, animal collection, and quality of animal programs, the National Zoo has been through a year of upheaval as it has attempted to reverse some long-standing negative trends.

From page 100... ...
For the National Zoo to regain its preeminence in the zoo community, the leaders of the Smithsonian and of the zoo must ensure that resources and support continue to flow into the zoo so that the zoo can address the major obstacles still ahead of it: establishing rigorous animal-care staff training, establishing a climate of accountability and personal responsibility, renovation or construction of animal facilities,and the development of a complete and comprehensive strategic plan.
