  WHEREAS,  There  are  more than 1,400 professional land surveyors in
New York  State,  and  more  than  45,000  professional  land  surveyors
nationwide; and

Era to include hydrographic surveys, engineering surveys utilized in the

determine the precise global positioning for activities such as aircraft
and missile navigation, and cartographic surveys used  for  mapping  and
charting; and

  WHEREAS,  The  surveying  profession  in  New  York requires special
education  and  experience,   training,   the   knowledge   of   applied
mathematics,  other technical and research skills, and passage of both a
national and state-specific examination; and

  WHEREAS, The  role  of  the  professional  surveyor  has  been,  and
continues  to  be,  essential  in the development and advancement of our
State and Nation; and

  WHEREAS,  There  are  18  affiliated  regional   professional   land

  WHEREAS,  New  Yorkers  recognize  the  important  contributions  of
professional  land surveyors to the historical and current layout of the

professional  land  surveyors make on the basis of specialized knowledge
and expertise; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
