NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Legacy Resource Management Program Establishment: Conceived of and authored a program to manage all natural, cultural, historical and geophysical resources on 25 million acres of Department of Defense land. The program, active in all 50 states and overseas, received funding through successive DoD Appropriation Acts of: $10 million in FY 1991; $25 million in FY 1992; $50 million in FY 1993; $50 million in FY 1994. Legacy 2000 Initiative: Conceived of and successfully recommended the establishment of a Legacy 2000 initiative in report language accompanying the FY 1993 Department of Defense Appropriation Act. The language created the $200,000 Legacy Fellowship Program, the Pacific Environmental Leadership Effort (PELE). The language also directed the Secretary of Defense to establish a separate Legacy program office, initiate a comprehensive and permanent environmental training initiative for all DoD personnel, establish a biological diversity task area (BDTA) to develop legacy specific goals and guidelines for biological diversity, and develop performance criteria for comprehensively assessing the progress of the DoD in carrying out its natural and cultural resource management responsibilities. Native American Antiquities Protection: Successfully recommended in report language accompanying the FY 1993 DoD Appropriation Act that $100,000 be made available to the DoD to undertake an inventory of Native American sacred sites existing on, or near, military installations. Similarly, $250,000 was to be made available for the recovery and reburial of 1,500 native Hawaiian human remains at the Kaneohe Marine Air Station pursuant to the Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Stock Enhancement: Authored Senate report and conference report language on the FY 1992 DoD Appropriation Act earmarking $750,000 for the conservation of endangered fish species by allowing DoD marine resources to be used for fish hatchery programs. In Hawaii, the development of such breeding facilities on DoD land could make a significant contribution to local economic growth and help preserve a vanishing traditional way of life. Pest Management: Authored Senate report language accompanying the FY 1993 DoD Appropriation Act earmarking $1 million for the control of the brown tree snake.
