Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy
We must make important choices together because
we have neither unlimited resources, nor a
monopoly of the worlds scientific talent. While
I believe we should seek to excel in all
scientific disciplines, we must still choose
among the multitudes of possible research
programs. We must decide which ones to launch,
encourage, and enhance and which ones to modify,
reevaluate, or redirect in keeping with our
national needs and capabilities. Today the most
pressing of these needs is an adequate and
coordinated response to the vicious and
destructive terrorist attacks on September 11, a
response in which science and technology are
already playing an important role.
John H. Marburger, III
Economists tell us that fully half of our
economic growth in the last half-century has come
from technological innovation and the science
that supported it. It is no accident that our
countrys most productive and competitive
industries are those that benefited from
sustained Federal investments in RD computers
and communications, semiconductors,
biotechnology, aerospace, environmental
technologies, energy efficiency. Two immense
forces have emerged in recent decades to
transform the way all science is performed, just
as they have altered the conditions of our daily
lives access to powerful computing, and the
technology of instrumentation which provides
inexpensive means of sensing and analyzing our
environment. These have opened entirely new
horizons in every field of science from particle
physics to medicine. Nanotechnology, for example,
-- the ability to manipulate matter at the atomic
and molecular level -- and molecular medicine
the ability to tailor life essential substances
atom by atom both owe their capabilities to
advances in computing and instrumentation.

Secretary Abraham's Remarks at the Quarterly
Leadership Meeting
On Management Implement the kind of
management changes that attract and retain the
highest caliber people. Expect measurable
performance objectives and accountability. On
Mission Identify new sources of energy for
the future Protect our critical energy
infrastructure Implement the Presidents
energy plan Implement the Presidents climate
change initiative Ensure the reliability of
our stockpile Address proliferation of nuclear
weapons and technology Enhance homeland
defense against new terrorist threats and
Implement environmental cleanup faster and
cheaper. Special mention for two priorities
The first involves the unique technological
contribution we can make to our energy and
national security by finding new sources of
energy. we need to leapfrog the status quo
and prepare for a future that, under any
scenario, requires a revolution in how we find,
produce and deliver energy. The second is one
that obviously flows from the tragic events of
September 11th. ... There are a lot of
challenges in front of us. But one priority that
requires our focus is the threat of weapons of
mass destruction posed either by small groups of
terrorists or by nation states.
11
Office of Science Strategic Planning Activities
All elements of the Department of Energy have
been asked to update their Strategic Plans, to
link strategic planning with the budget process,
and to articulate long-term goals and short term
targets by which progress can be measured.
12

Portfolio Trends in BES
LCLS

• BES vision, post SNS commissioning
• Research
• International leadership in science at the
  nanoscale through a comprehensive program
  involving grand challenge areas, NSRCs, and the
  transformation of the cottage industry of
  researchers into a national effort for broad
  societal benefit.
• World-class, mission-relevant basic research
  activities through focused programs linking lab
  and university researchers
• Facilities
• Restoration of U.S. preeminence in neutron
  scattering through
• construction and operation of world-class
  facilities
• design and fabrication of next-generation
  instrumentation
• growth of the U.S. community.
• Continued U.S. preeminence in the sciences that
  use and the facilities for x-ray diffraction,
  scattering, and imaging through
• full utilization of facilities, new and upgraded
  instrumentation, and an increased user base at
  the four BES synchrotron radiation light sources
• Linac Coherent Light Source
• Increased Clarity of the Roles of Labs and
  Universities
• Laboratories focus on world-class research in
  core areas associated with their facilities and
  with accepted DOE mission requirements. This
  research serves as a foundation for innovation
  for the Nation, much as the major (but now
  long-defunct) industrial research laboratories of
  the late 20th century served as a foundation for
  corporate innovation.
• NSRCs have strengthened accepted core
  competencies of the laboratories and have
  reinforced a new way of doing research at the
  labs -- driving partnerships among lab,
  university, and industrial research sectors.

Synchrotron Light Sources The Success
StoryFrom the Province of Specialists in the
1980s to a Widely Used Tool in the 21st Century
The number of researchers using the synchrotron
radiation light sources is expected to reach
11,000 annually when beamlines are fully
instrumented.
Who funds the light sources? The Basic Energy
Sciences program provides the complete support
for the operations of these facilities.
Furthermore, BES continues as the dominant
supporter of research in the physical sciences,
providing as much as 85 of all federal funds for
beamlines, instruments, and PI support. Many
other agencies, industries, and private sponsors
provide support for instrumentation and research
in specialized areas such as protein
crystallography.
18
What a BES Goals Statement Might Look Like in the
Budget

• Build leading research programs in focused
  disciplines of the natural sciences important to
  national and energy security to spur
  revolutionary advances in the production of safe,
  secure, efficient, and environmentally
  responsible systems of energy supply.
• Enable the atom-by-atom design of materials and
  integrated systems of nanostructured components
  with new and improved properties.
• Restore U.S. preeminence in neutron scattering
  research, instrumentation, and facilities to

FY02 House EnergyWater Development Subcommittee
Report
Basic Research for Energy Technologies
The Committee is concerned that the Department
does not have an adequate plan or policy that
relates the basic research being conducted by the
Office of Science to the energy needs of the
country. While the Committee understands that
basic research can lead in many directions, there
should be a focus on the underlying needs of the
Department's energy portfolio. There appears to
be minimal cooperation and coordination between
the Office of Science and other Departmental
offices on the fundamental research needed to
improve energy technologies. Each year the
Committee provides funding for the Office of
Science to support basic research in energy
programs. The Committee directs the Department
to identify ways in which coordination can be
improved and research conducted which is mutually
beneficial and to report to the Committee by
January 15, 2002, on the Department's strategy
for ensuring that the basic research programs
also focus on energy technology needs.
