At its mark-up session last week, the subcommittee voted to strike from the bill the $450,000 to be used for a pen to enclose 1.000 to 1,500 acres to keep the exotic, endangered species separated from the white-tailed deer.
They also rejected Yates’ request for $200,000 for a contract with Virginia Tech and the state game commission tor a study on deer relocation.
Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson said that he "hoped that Smithsonian officials in Washington will now reconsider their position with regard to the deer hunt at the Center.”
Calling the subcommittee’s decision "a common sense victory for taxpayers," Robinson said that the committee's refusal to appropriate the extra money is a "vindication for responsible game management practices in preference to impractical and ineffective measures.”
In Washington, Smithsonian Coordinator of Pul.... iinormation Larry Taylor said that there were no immediate plans to reschedule the hunt, and expressed surprise at the committee’s actions. “They had never promised us that they would appropriate the additional money if we canceled the hunt,” he said, "but we told them that we certainly hoped they would.”
Taylor said that, without the hunt or the funds to control the deer otherwise, the Center was in a dilemma.
Taylor said that the subcommittee could still add the additional appropriation, but there was no indication that they would do so. "Were trying to think of ways to deal with this problem.” Taylor said. “But for now, we’re stuck.”
