George Eskridge; Rep. Eric R. Anderson; and Colleen Andrus, private citizen Vice Chairman Andrus called the meeting to order at 2:02 p.m. MOTION: Rep. Chavez moved to approve the minutes from the January 12, 2010 meeting; motion carried by voice vote. Brandon Hardenbrook, of Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER), gave a brief overview of the organization, which is a regional U.S./Canadian forum dedicated to encouraging global economic competitiveness and preservation of the natural environment. He stressed the interdependence of economic factors within the Northwest region and stated that the organization is working on several projects to boost the economy. He praised the State of Idaho for hosting such a successful Annual Summit in July 2009 and announced that the 2010 Annual Summit will be conducted in Calgary, Alberta on July 16-20, 2010. The event occurs during the last week of the world-famous Calgary Stampede. Mr. Hardenbrook then introduced Dr. Bill Barton from the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), who presented information regarding the Second Cross Border Livestock Health Conference (CBLHC). The CBLHC was held in conjunction with PNWER’s 19th Annual Summit in Boise in July 2009. The objectives were to provide the following opportunities for state and provincial veterinarians, government, animal health experts and industry: • To enhance relationships and build networks between jurisdictions; • To exchange information on animal health issues and concerns; • To develop a common understanding of disease policies; • To exchange information on emergency response to emerging and foreign animal disease; and • To advance Canadian and American animal health interests. Dr. Barton indicated that despite the competition of other livestock conferences being conducted at the time, attendance at the CBLHC was quite high, with over 50 participants, including veterinarians, legislators, government and industry representatives, and elected officials from both Canada and the United States. Content of the conference included the following issues: 1) traceability (of animals exported from one region to another); 2) animal diseases (such as tuberculosis and brucellosis); and 3) animal welfare. Dr. Barton said participants engaged in an informal open discussion after each section, during which they would brainstorm and develop new action items along the way. One key action item is to encourage acceptance of an electronic documentation and endorsement system to import/export livestock between the two countries. In the current certification process, the relevant paperwork is not in place until long after the animals cross the border. In addition, the group plans to urge the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to expedite the rule-making process to restore United States’ access to sheep and goats imported from Canada. As the committee members discussed, this action item is of key importance to the United States because Canadian sheep have a genetic resistance to scrapie — a fatal disease for which there is no treatment or cure. Dr. Barton said “our only hope” in managing the situation is by the process of natural selection. Dr. Barton stated that PNWER now intends to make the CBLHC an annual event at the PNWER Annual Summit and that they are already planning the 2010 event. Mr. Hardenbrook then introduced Michael Chisholm, Canada Vice President, Executive Committee, who provided more details on the Calgary Stampede and discussed the synergy between the United States and Canada in regard to agriculture. For example, Mr. Chisholm’s family farm, located near the Alberta border, grows potato seeds, which are then exported to American farmers who grow potato crops. He indicated that his region is dominated by dry land farmers. He also shared economic concern for family farmers, who are losing their farms at an alarming rate. The committee then engaged in some discussion about other synergistic relationships between the two countries as they pertain to crop production. Mr. Hardenbrook then introduced Rep. Eric Anderson, who is the co-chair of the Invasive Species working group for the 20th Annual Summit. Rep. Anderson characterized aquatic invasions as a bio-security issue, as aquatic invaders know no borders — they can go wherever water flows. He emphasized that monitoring sites show transport through Idaho’s northern waterways is heavier than once realized. He expressed further concern that the federal government is failing to properly enforce the Lacey Act, which prohibits the transport of invasive species. One of the work force’s accomplishments was a letter to Secretary Salazar and the Minister of Fisheries asking for enhanced enforcement of boat inspections and improved state plans for managing invasive aquatic species. When asked about the status of quagga/zebra mussel invasions in Canada, Rep. Anderson indicated that although the east coast has been infected, the HOUSE AGRICULTURAL AFFAIRS January 14, 2010 - Minutes - Page 2 west coast is currently free from invasion. ADJOURN: Vice Chairman Andrus then reminded committee members that they would break into subcommittees next week to review administrative rules. There being no further business to come before the committee, the meeting was adjourned at 2:45 p.m. Representative Ken Andrus Lisa F.

He announced that committee meetings would be audio-streamed this session, unless members voiced any objections, and then reminded members of the subcommittee meetings scheduled for January 20, 2010 to review administrative rules.

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.

  • Legislative Report Card
    2020 Idaho Legislature The student governments of multiple public colleges and universities in the state of Idaho have come together to continue evaluating legislators’ voting records pertaining to higher education. The schools involved for the 2020 process were University of Idaho, Boise State University, Idaho State University, North Idaho College, and College of Western Idaho. Our common interest has led us to advocate and educate students on the legislative support of higher education. This project was started in 2018 with the goal of better educating voters on the underrepresentation of higher education at the state level. Continuing this election year, we aim to recognize the efforts of legislators supporting higher education initiatives. We believe that holding our legislators accountable will cause higher education to become more affordable, accessible, and prioritized. We identified 27 total bills presented on the House and Senate floors in the last two legislative sessions relating to higher education. Eighteen of those bills come from the 2020 session, and the other nine originated in the 2019 session. In a group discussion, the representatives from each college (listed below) determined a score from one to five points for each individual bill. Votes on higher weighted bills had larger impacts on a legislator’s final score. For most bills, if a legislator voted against a bill or was not present for the vote, they received zero points. If a legislator voted for a bill, they received the points of the bill. If a legislator sponsored a bill, they received double points for that bill. Because the house bills H0440 and H0500 adversely affect student populations, the scoring is as follows: a vote for either bill or an absence in voting does not earn the points of the bill; a vote against the bill earns the points of the bill; and sponsoring the bill earns the bill’s value in points ​against​ a legislator.
