  We report a survey for molecular gas in nearby powerful radio galaxies. Eight
of the eighteen radio galaxies observed were detected with molecular masses in
the range 10^7--10^9 Msun, similar to the same survey we performed towards 3C
radio galaxies. The upper limits of molecular gas in the remainder are
typically of 10^8 Msun, indicating that very few radiogalaxies have molecular
gas reservoir with more than 10^9 Msun.
