Dear Colleagues,
 The funding profile by subprogram within the FY09
budget proposal for HEP is available online at:

http://www.science.doe.gov/obp/FY_09_Budget/HEP.pdf

The sections for the ILC and SCRF are as follows:

                                   FY07   FY08   FY09

International Linear Collider R&D 41,686 14,834 35,000

"The ILC is considered by the world-wide high energy 
physics community as the successor facility to the LHC, 
and essential for advancing scientific progress at the 
Terascale. In FY 2007, the ILC international collaboration 
under the auspices of the International Linear Collider 
Steering Group, and the direction of the Global Design 
Effort (GDE), completed a detailed review of the R&D to be
accomplished world wide, with milestones and priorities 
for that work.
  The FY 2008 Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act resulted in sharply reduced 
funding for ILC R&D. In response, the FY 2009 budget 
supports a U.S. ILC R&D program with reduced scope compared 
to FY 2007, but addressing priority areas identified by the
global R&D plan, and focused on topics for which the U.S. 
has unique expertise. Accelerator efforts will be centered 
on R&D for systems associated with the generation and 
maintenance of very bright particle beams such as electron 
sources, damping rings, beam dynamics, and beam delivery. 
Support will also be provided for development and 
prototyping of high level RF equipment and development of 
components associated with the main linac, including ILC 
cryomodules.
  Where appropriate, directed R&D aimed at cost reduction 
of present baseline systems and developing alternate 
low-risk components will be undertaken."


                                    FY07    FY08   FY09
Superconducting RF R&D             24,680  5,405  25,000

"The FY 2008 Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act resulted in sharply reduced 
funding for Superconducting RF (SRF). This request resumes 
support for infrastructure needed for the testing and 
development of high-gradient superconducting accelerating 
cavity and cryomodule prototypes. The testing facilities 
and prototypes will help enable a host of SRF-based next 
generation scientific and industrial facilities, and in 
particular will be a critical component for the next 
generation of accelerators across the Office of Science
complex, not just those with HEP applications.
  In FY 2009, this effort will provide funds for procurement
of components and support equipment necessary to prototype 
multi-cavity cryomodules. This request also enables continued 
development of U.S. capability for testing individual bare 
cavities, dressed cavities with all power components
attached, and cryomodules. Fermilab is the lead U.S. 
laboratory coordinating the national R&D program in this 
area."
