Dear Colleagues, You can find the FY 2007 DOE budget request highlights at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/energy.html <http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/energy.html> Details can be found at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/pdf/appendix/doe.pdf <http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/pdf/appendix/doe.pdf> " Program and Financing (in millions of dollars) Identification code 89-0222-0-1-251 2005 actual 2006 est. 2007 est. Obligations by program activity: 00.01 High energy physics ........... 719 721 775 " "The HEP request also develops the most compelling new scientific opportunities for the U.S. HEP program in the next decade, including $60 million of R&D for a potential international linear collider, enabling a U.S. leadership role in a comprehensive, coordinated international R&D program. While the future trajectory of the HEP program has a strong emphasis on linear collider R&D, it will also provide a diverse array of other world-leading efforts, including the understanding of dark energy, strong U.S. participation in Large Hadron Collider physics, and forefront neutrino experiments and facilities."
