Stanton 601 E Swenson Savannah, Mo 64485 816-262-0097 rstantongstjoelive.com My name is Msgt LeRoy Glenn Foster, USAF, Retired. I am writing this letter to testify in support of Ralph A. Stanton's exposure to Agent Orange herbicides which 1 prepared, mixed and sprayed on Andersen AFB, Guam and all of the off base fuels facilities, cross country pipelines that spanned the island to the Naval Fuel Supply Depot underground storage tanks. I sprayed these herbicides in, on, and around all the places Sgt. Stanton had to work+ I prepared, mixed and sprayed these herbicides to include Agent Orange and Agent Blue herbicides which were packaged in 55 gallon drum containers identified with colored bands and 50 lb dry chemical bags with Monsanto on the bags. I was an A IC and a Sgt during the time frame of 1969 and 1970 and 1971. I worked in the 43"1 Supply Squadron Fuels Division and was assigned to on and off base fuels facility operations. I used a five ton blue tractor truck and a yellow 750 gallon tank trailer which was an old MK1 oil and Adi trailer to service C124 Globemaster Aircraft which was converted into a herbicide spraying trailer. I often would have to spray the entire pipe lines, hydrant pump stations on the flight line, the Quonset huts storing the packaged oil for the B52 bombers, the fuel valve pits, the security fences surrounding the flight line, the fuel storage facilities at Andy I, Andy Ii, the Liquid Oxygen bldg, the Fuel operations office, the truck refueling hardstands, the refueling fleet checkout area, all of the off base fuel storage facilities at Potts tank farm, Naval Air Station Fuel Booster pump station, Tumon Tank Farm and the entire Cross country pipeline. I also sprayed at the Yigo and Dededo Packaged Oil warehouse Quonset but where I operated forklifts to load and unload packaged oil for the B52 bombers jet engine oil. I would work many long hours but sprayed a lot there because of the jungle over growth Sgt Stanton worked alongside me during the two years we were stationed there together. He often was rebuilding valves, pumps, filters etc. I le also had to maintain corrosion control on those fuels systems and was always getting the wind blown spray on him. He would complain to me to keep that shit away from him as it would turn a chalky white on immediate contact. He and I developed sterility there but never said anything to each other as we both probably thought that was much too personal to talk about. He and I have many serious diseases now and we both probably will not live much longer past 65 if we reach it. I have many friends now that have died in their forties and fifties from these herbicides. I know that the US Air Force and the Department of Defense know the truth about these herbicides. The denial must end. I am asking our government to be honest now about these Agent Orange herbicides. I swear to God that all of the above is true and correct. Msgt Leroy G Pieter, USAF, Ret.

    Micronesica 38(1):93–120, 2005

    Micronesica 38(1):93–120, 2005 Archaeological Evidence of a Prehistoric Farming Technique on Guam DARLENE R. MOORE Micronesian Archaeological Research Services P.O. Box 22303, GMF, Guam, 96921 Abstract—On Guam, few archaeological sites with possible agricultural features have been described and little is known about prehistoric culti- vation practices. New information about possible upland planting techniques during the Latte Phase (c. A.D. 1000–1521) of Guam’s Prehistoric Period, which began c. 3,500 years ago, is presented here. Site M201, located in the Manenggon Hills area of Guam’s interior, con- tained three pit features, two that yielded large pieces of coconut shell, bits of introduced calcareous rock, and several large thorns from the roots of yam (Dioscorea) plants. A sample of the coconut shell recovered from one of the pits yielded a calibrated (2 sigma) radiocarbon date with a range of A.D. 986–1210, indicating that the pits were dug during the early Latte Phase. Archaeological evidence and historic literature relat- ing to planting, harvesting, and cooking of roots and tubers on Guam suggest that some of the planting methods used in historic to recent times had been used at Site M201 near the beginning of the Latte Phase, about 1000 years ago. I argue that Site M201 was situated within an inland root/tuber agricultural zone. Introduction The completion of numerous archaeological projects on Guam in recent years has greatly increased our knowledge of the number and types of prehis- toric sites, yet few of these can be considered agricultural. Descriptions of agricultural terraces, planting pits, irrigation canals, or other agricultural earth works are generally absent from archaeological site reports, although it has been proposed that some of the piled rock alignments in northern Guam could be field boundaries (Liston 1996).

    Revised Recovery Plan for the Sihek Or Guam Micronesian Kingfisher (Halcyon Cinnamomina Cinnamomina)

    DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate actions which the best available science indicates are required to recover and protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Recovery teams serve as independent advisors to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans are reviewed by the public and submitted to additional peer review before they are approved and adopted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 USC 1341, or any other law or regulation. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed as approved by the Regional Director or Director. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions. Please check for updates or revisions at the website addresses provided below before using this plan. Literature citation of this document should read as follows: U.S.

    Children in Guam By the Population Reference Bureau The Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Population Reference Bureau November 2002 KIDS COUNT KIDS COUNT, a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, is a national and state-by- state effort to track the status of children in the United States. By providing policymak- ers and citizens with benchmarks of child well-being, KIDS COUNT seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure better futures for all children. At the national level, the principal activity of the initiative is the publication of the annu- al KIDS COUNT Data Book, which uses the best available data to measure the educa- tional, social, economic, and physical well-being of children. The Foundation also funds a nationwide network of state-level KIDS COUNT projects that provide a more detailed community-by-community picture of the condition of children. Population Reference Bureau (PRB) Founded in 1929, the Population Reference Bureau is the leader in providing timely and objective information on U.S. and international population trends and their implications. PRB informs policymakers, educators, the media, and concerned citizens working in the public interest around the world through a broad range of activities, including publica- tions, information services, seminars and workshops, and technical support. Our efforts are supported by government contracts, foundation grants, individual and corporate con- tributions, and the sale of publications. PRB is governed by a Board of Trustees repre- senting diverse community and professional interests.
