We have recently been granted time on FUSE to characterize the escape fraction of hydrogen Lyman continuum Lyc photons from a morphologically diverse set of star forming galaxies. The FUSE program is designed to provide ~ 5 sigma detections of Lyc photons emitted from star forming galaxies with escape fractions ~5%. With this proposal we seek hydrogen Lyman alpha Lya observations of a representative subset of the FUSE program targets to constrain the observational relationship between Lyc, Lya, and hydrogen Balmer line emission in these systems. Such observations explore the detailed balance between the simple optically thin Case A and optically thick Case B limits in recombination theory. The ultimate goal of this program is to quantify the relationship between escaping Lya and Lyc emission and the first structures that form in the early universe.;
