General

1. How has the volatility in the appropriations process, combined with uncertainty in future budget planning, affected the programs? Irritant or serious impediment?

2. Should the Administration package initiatives (ACI, etc.) or support broad-based initiatives that address all of the physical sciences?

3. What are the most significant issues over the next year?

4. Where can the Academy add value?

SC Specific

1. Staffing

2. Effect of global warming concerns on DOE budget?

3. Future of the 20-Year Facilities Roadmap?

Total BES

In FY 1988, about $75M of the $422M total budget was used for the support of operating facilities, or about 18%.

In FY 2006, ~$463M of the $1,122M total budget was used for the support of operating facilities, or about 41%.

ALS operation starts 1993

ANS project starts;

terminated in 1995

SPEAR 3 MIE and 5 NSRCs PED

start 2001

LCLS PED starts 2003

SNS operation starts 2006

APS construction starts 1988

Research budgets increase modestly, with notable Administration increases for NNI (2001) and hydrogen (2005). The 1996 Scientific Facilities Initiative added funds for both facility operations and for instrument development (i.e., research).
