The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:04 a.m., in room 2325, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Don Fuqua (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Brown, Walgren, Boucher, Mineta, Stallings, Bruce, Sensenbrenner, Packard, Fawell, Barton, Cobey, and Slaughter. Also present: Representative Carney. Staff present: Harlan L. Watson, Ezra Heitowit, Bill Harvey, William Gordon, and Tom Weimer. Mr. FUQUA. The subcommittee will be in order. We begin today the first in a series of hearings to be held by the Subcommittee on Energy Development and Applications concerning the fiscal year 1986 authorization request for the Department of Energy's programs in basic research, conservation and renewable energy, and fossil energy. Today we begin our consideration of the basic research programs in the Department of Energy for which the administration has requested over $1.16 billion. These programs include basic energy sciences, university research support and instrumentation, multiprogram general purpose facilities, and high energy and nuclear physics; and they support long-range frontier research performed at our national laboratories and universities. The fiscal year 1986 request for programs under this subcommittee's jurisdiction is some $46 million, or about 3.5 percent, below the current year's appropriated levels. While the current budget deficit climate may warrant a slowdown in the growth of funding for basic research, we also want to make sure that important new science opportunities relevant to the Department of Energy's mission will be supported to the extent possible. Today, our leadoff witness will be Dr. Alvin Trivelpiece, Director of DOE's Office of Energy Research, to discuss the Department's fiscal year 1986 request. He will be accompanied by Dr. Don Stevens and also Dr. Jim Leiss. Following the DOE witnesses we will hear from a number of distinguished academic and laboratory scientists on new research op (1) portunities, as well as the status of nuclear physics research and the Superconducting Super Collider. We will also have two panels of laboratory directors who will give us their assessment of the impacts of the fiscal year 1986 budget request on their respective institutions. Before we start, I want to apologize for any inconvenience caused those witnesses who had originally been scheduled to appear yesterday. I appreciate your juggling your schedules so you can be here today. We also have business on the House floor starting at 11 a.m., so I'm sure we'll have other interruptions during the process of the hearing. Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for this opportunity to extend a welcome to Dr. Trivelpiece, the Director of DOE's Office of Energy Research, and to our distinguished panelists. I look forward to Dr. Trivelpiece's testimony on the research programs conducted by his office. These programs include high energy and nuclear physics, basic energy science, university support, and related activities. They support long-range basic research that provides the fundamental scientific and engineering base on which this country's future energy options will depend. Furthermore, our Nation's lead in science and technology, which are at the core of our economic competitiveness, and the training of future scientists are served by a continuing aggressive program of basic research. The administration has proposed a small reduction for these programs in fiscal year 1986 by more or less freezing operating expenses, except for inflationary adjustments, and putting a hold on new construction projects. I believe the deficit problem confronting Congress warrants such a freeze of these DOE activities. However, I look forward to the testimony of our lab directors and scientists and their views on how this slowdown in R&D will impact the Federal labs and progress in the science community. I thank you. Mr. FUQUA. Thank you very much. Dr. Trivelpiece, we'd be pleased to hear from you at this time. [The biographical sketch of Dr. Trivelpiece follows:] Dr. Alvin W. Trivelpiece was nominated by the President on July 8, 1981, and confirmed by the Senate on July 27, 1981, as Director of the Office of Energy Research, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). In this position, Dr. Trivelpiece serves as technical adviser to the Secretary on the Department's energy research and development programs and is responsible for the multipurpose laboratories and energy education and training activities. In addition, he manages DOE's programs for basic energy research, health and environmental research, high energy and nuclear physics, and magnetic fusion. Dr. Trivelpiece has extensive experience in the areas of plasma physics and fusion research. From 1978 until assuming his current position, Dr. Trivelpiece was Corporate Vice President of Science Applications, Inc., of La Jolla, California, primarily responsible for internal research programs relative to innovative technical developments. From 1976 to 1978, he was Vice President for Engineering and Research at Maxwell Laboratories, San Diego, California. During the period 1973 to 1975, Dr. Trivelpiece served with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission as Assistant Director for Research in the Division of Controlled Thermonuclear Research. Prior to joining the Federal Government, he was Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland, serving in that capacity from 1966 to 1976. From 1959 to 1966, he was a professor at the University of California at Berkeley in the Department of Electrical Engineering. He received a B.S. degree from California Polytechnic State University in 1953, an M.S. degree in 1955, and a Ph.D. degree in 1958. Both advanced degrees were awarded by the California Institute of Technology. |
