Question 2:

Answer:

Provide a schedule of projected expenditures for the major components of the project and the project total year-by-year until operation of the facility.

The schedule of projected expenditures for the earlier project baselines were presented in the Construction Project Data Sheet for the SSC included in the President's FY 1991 budget request. All of this information is subject to change when the new project baseline is established later this year. I will be pleased to provide that information for the record.

Based on March 1986, Conceptual Design Report. The Department and the SSC Laboratory are in the process of
developing a revised project conceptual design along with cost estimate and schedule. This is a rapidly evolving
situation and appropriate revisions will be incorporated into the budget request and outyear plans after the new
technical, cost and schedule baselines are validated.

Construction completion 2nd quarter FY 1998.

Assumes site provided at no cost to DOE. Total construction cost including anticipated international, state, local
and industrial contributions.

Inflation indices used to convert other project costs to then year dollars: FY 1989, 3.1%; FY 1990, 2.6%; FY 1991,
2.2%; FY 1992 and all outyears, 2.15%.

Pre-operations shown only through construction project completion.

Full cost of initial complement of detectors (including R&D) and central computer.

The projection of a total non-Federal contribution to the SSC of $1.8 billion and the year-by-year spread of the
estimated contributions are preliminary estimates. The exact funding type and timing of the non-Federal
contributions will depend on which SSC systems are provided by others and how these systems fit into the project
schedule. Improved firm estimates will be available after completion of definitive agreements with the State of
Texas and foreign contributors.

Question:

Answer:

How will the project expenditure year-by-year compare with the estimated budget for the rest of high-energy physics in those years?

We would be pleased to provide the outyear projections for the SSC project and the High Energy Physics program associated with the FY 1991 budget request before Congress. These projections are traditionally prepared by the Administration for a five year period only. Therefore, outyear projections beyond those developed for the FY 1991 Congressional budget are not available at this time. It should be noted that these estimates are updated annually as part of the President's annual budget submission to the Congress. I will be pleased to provide that information for the record.
