Koch loses bid to inspect Congressional Club records
A Congressional Country Club member, George W. Koch, who spent over $80,000 in a bid to review the club’s books, loses the fight but escapes a contempt finding. Sixth Circuit Judge John J. Mitchell upholds the club’s claim he isn’t entitled to access the records, while noting Koch’s media-driven approach and allowing his First Amendment concerns to shield him from contempt. Koch plans an appeal.

Judge orders quick removal of primates from Silver Spring lab
In Rockville, Sixth Judicial Circuit Judge David L Cahoon ordered 16 primates from Edward Taub’s Behavioral Biological Center to be temporarily housed in one of four commercial labs. The move follows the death of a monkey named Charlie after a prior attack on him by Nero during cage cleaning. Charlie died of cardiac arrest after surgery by vet J A Stankard. Remains to stay at the lab while relocation proceeds. NIH earlier rescinded a $115000 grant and demanded a detailed report on expenditures by Nov 16. Taub faces trial in Shady Grove District Court on Oct 27 amid charges about facility conditions and sanitation.
