The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:30 a.m., in room 2318, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Don Fuqua (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. FUQUA. The subcommittee will be in order. Today's hearing is the third in a series of four hearings to be held by the Subcommittee on Energy Development and Applications concerning the fiscal year 1987 authorization request for the Department of Energy's programs in basic research, conservation, and renewable energy and fossil energy. We will begin our consideration of these basic research programs in the Department of Energy for which the administration has requested nearly $1.3 billion. These programs include basic energy sciences, university research support and instrumentation, multiprogram energy laboratories-facilities support, and high energy and nuclear physics; and they support long-range frontier research performed at our national laboratories and universities. The fiscal year 1987 budget request for programs under the subcommittee's jurisdiction is $146 million, about 12.7 percent above the current year's appropriated level. The administration's continued support for basic research is noted and applauded. Today we will hear from one of our colleagues who also has been a member of this committee, Congressman Herb Bateman, that wishes to make a short presentation. Congressman, we are very happy to have you back and glad to hear from you. STATEMENT OF HON. HERBERT H. BATEMAN, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF VIRGINIA Mr. BATEMAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. It is indeed a pleasure to be back before this committee. May I add that my no longer being on it is not a matter entirely of my choosing. I miss it very much. Mr. Chairman, I have certainly been pleased with the strong support given by the subcommittee and the full Science and Technology Committee to the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, or CEBAF, throughout its early stages of development. The (1) committee's strong early support for the effort has certainly proven correct. CEBAF is well on its way to providing the Nation's nuclear physics community with a unique, world-class research tool able to support the kind of leading edge in scientific research that is essential to the Nation's defense and economic health. CEBAF has acquired a new director of international standing, Dr. Hermann Grunder, whom you will be hearing from today. He has put together a staff which has been hard at work conducting the preliminary research and development work for the accelerator. This work has already paid off in an advanced design which uses superconducting radio frequency technology to greatly increase the scientific capability of the accelerator without increasing the cost of the project. Mr. Chairman, even in these times of constrained Federal budgets, I know that this committee certainly has not forgotten that increases in our society's wealth and security come primarily through the increased productivity brought about through scientific advancement and that scientific advancement comes from new research on the frontiers of science. CEBAF has shown itself to be a model science facility in its use of the Federal funds granted it so far, in the quality of people who have become associated with it, the substantial financial and other support it has received and will continue to receive from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the city of Newport News, and the unanimous support it has achieved in the scientific community. I hope the subcommittee and the full Science and Technology Committee will not waiver in the fully justified, strong support that they have consistently given to CEBAF, and I thank the Chair and the committee very much for their indulgence.

BATEMAN AT HEARING OF SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONs, CommitteE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, MARCH 5, 1986 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
