Genetic engineering techniques may provide useful protection to                 agricultural plants.  There is considerable controversy, however, over          the potential environmental consequences of applying these                      technologies.  Through document analysis and fieldwork, consisting of           approximately 25 in-depth interviews with significant figures in the            debate, this dissertation project will explore the diversity of                 positions over these issues.  The different values, beliefs, and                ethical concerns which underlie the controversy will be identified and          examined; competing concepts of the public interest in biotechnological         plant protection research will be articulated; and the potential for            common ground will be assessed.  Results will provide a useful                  historical record and information about the justifications associated           with different positions.  The project goals and credentials of the             dissertation student and her advisors are very meritorious; the funds           are necessary to support the special costs associated with the                  fieldwork and analysis; results will be recieved with interest; so              support is recommended in the amount of $5,300.
