CONTROL OF GEESE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to thank Senator KOHL for his generosity in including the increase of $200,000 for the control of the numerous species of birds that cause hardship throughout New York. When making the request, I meant for the money to be increased specifically to address needs of the Hudson Valley and parts on Long Island to control their populations of geese and ask that the report specifically refer to "an increase of $200,000 for the control of geese in the State of New York."

Mr. KOHL. I thank the Senator for bringing this to our attention. We will do what we can.
