Dedicated to Professor Walter Strauss on his 70th birthday1. Dedication and introduction. We represent three generations of students: Bob Glassey, Walter's student finishing at Brown in 1972, Jack Schaeffer, Bob's student finishing at Indiana University in 1983, and Steve Pankavich, Jack's student finishing at Carnegie Mellon in 2005. We have all thrived professionally from our association with Walter and are delighted to dedicate this note to him on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The problem we study below concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions, an area to which Walter has contributed greatly.The motion of a collisionless plasma is described by the Vlasov-Maxwell system. If we neglect magnetic effects we then have the Vlasov-Poisson system (VP). We can also consider the effect of large velocities and solutions to the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system (RVP). We will study both systems in one space and one momentum dimension with two species of oppositely charged particles. We further assume that each system is neutral , which means that the average value of the density ρ vanishes (see below). The
