Dear Colleagues,
The President's proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2014 is available online at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget
Highlights for the Department of Energy can be found at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/budget/fy2014/assets/doe.pdf
In particular, the proposed budget (in millions of dollars) for HEP is:
2012 actual 2013 CR 2014 est.
High Energy Physics 770 796 777
Science Magazine has additional information on the proposed budget
for the Office of Science at:
http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2013/04/obamas-2014-science-budget.html#DOE2
The following quote is worthy of note:
"In contrast, DOE's high-energy physics program, which funds work in
elementary particle physics, would see its budget fall 1.7% from the
2012 level to $777 million.
All of this ignores the effects of the automatic budget cuts known as
sequestration, which are required by the Budget Control Act of 2011.
Unless it is reversed, sequestration would knock DOE budget levels
for 2014 down 7.2%, leaving the Office of Science a net loser instead
of a winner."
Sincerely,
Norman Graf
