9. 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 country’s most productive and competitive industries are those that benefited from sustained Federal investments in R&D – 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. Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy John H. Marburger, III http://www.ostp.gov/html/01_1012.html We must make important choices together because we have neither unlimited resources, nor a monopoly of the world’s 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.

10. 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 futur e   Protect our critical energy infrastructure   Implement the President’s energy plan   Implement the President’s 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.

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 provide researchers with the tools necessary for the exploration and discovery of advanced materials.   Develop advanced facilities and instruments for x-ray diffraction, scattering, and imaging for diverse communities of researchers to enable unprecedented levels of exploration and discovery.   Manage BES facility operations and construction to the highest standards of overall performance using merit evaluation with independent peer review.   Provide world-class, peer-reviewed research results in the scientific disciplines encompassed by the BES mission areas, cognizant of DOE needs as well as the needs of the broad scientific community.

19. 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.
