evolved to include hydrographic surveys, engineering surveys in

positioning for aircraft and missile navigation, and cartographic
surveys used for mapping and charting; and
WHEREAS, Professional surveyors in the State of New York must
complete rigorous educational and experiential training, know applied
mathematics, provide technical and research skills and must pass both a
national and a state-specific examination; and
WHEREAS, There are more than 1,400 professional land surveyors in
New York State and more than 45,000 nationwide, whose profession has
been, and continues to be, essential in the development and advancement
of our State and Nation; and

professional land surveyors to the layout of the state and country as
well as their specialized knowledge and expertise; now, therefore, be it
