The Legacy Resource Management Program, as legislated by Congress in 1990, is an attempt to provide the Department of Defense (DOD) with a pro -active program for identifying, protecting and maintaining natural and cultural resources on all lands under DOD jurisdiction or influence. Congress set aside funds to be used to establish and support the program in fiscal year 1991 and the Legacy program was included in DOD's FY92 and FY93 budget proposals. In addition to these efforts, the Legacy program places special emphasis on resources associated with Native Americans and on public access issues. The report herein was prepared as part of the Education, Public Awareness, and Outdoor Recreation Task Area of the Department of Defense Legacy Resource Management Program. The overall program is managed by the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Environment, with administration by the U.S. Army Engineering and Housing Support Center Natural and Cultural Resources Division. The Education, Public Awareness, and Outdoor Recreation Task Area is managed at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES). This report is an assessment of current policies and procedures concerning Native American access to and consultation with DOD installations. The primary function of this report is to develop a bibliography of published material relating to Native American access issues on DOD facilities.

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera) complex is the sole arthropod vector of the genus, Begomovirus (family, Geminiviridae), which causes debilitating diseases of plants, worldwide. Virus-vector specificity is conferred through co-evolved, whitefly vector-viral capsid protein-protein interactions. Membrane-bound receptors are thought to facilitate virion passage across the gut-hemolymph and hemolymph-salivary gland interfaces, and virion circulation is expected to elicit innate defense and stress-related proteins. Our goal was to select and validate genes involved in whitefly-mediated transmission. Whitefly expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a previous study were re-annotated, taking advantage of newly available insect EST, UniGene, and Protein sequences. Six whitefly genes and transcripts, actin, cyclophilin, GBLP, GAPDH 3, knottin, and whitefly endosymbiont HSP60, representing three gene ontology (GO) categories, were analyzed using PCR or RT- PCR, respectively, followed by cloning and DNA sequencing. Analysis confirmed the presence of all six whitefly genes and five transcripts, with the knottin transcript being undetectable.
