PREPARER'S COMMENTS 



Good progress has been made in management 

 of the Aleutian Canada Goose. If the recovery 

 plan is carried out, particularly with respect to 

 fox control and reintroduction of geese in Aleutian 

 Islands and hunting control in migration and win- 

 tering areas, the prospects look very good for re- 

 covery — John W. Aldrich.
