fall was cancelled in the face of conservationist and congressional opposition.
In early November, the controversy over the hunt prompted a special hearing by the house appropriations committee, The hearings , were inconclusive and no vote was recorded.
Later, Smithsonian officials announced their intention to cancel the hunt and ask the same committee for $650,000 to begin a control program that would include modifications to fences and a study on the best way to relocate the troublesome deer.
Sidney Yates, chairman of the subcommittee, and a strong opponent of the hunt, asked for the money from the committee, but the committee failed to appropriate the required amount. The measure was seen by supporters of the hunt as informal permission to go ahead. However, no further action was taken until the decision March 17 to lower some parts of the fence around the compound to four feet.
Taylor said that this measure will cost between $120,000 and $140,000 and that construction will begin “as soon as possible” so that fewer fawns will be born inside the gates.
When asked if he thought this measure would be successful, Taylor said. “We hope...We hope.”
