The budget proposed in their report is devastating for High Energy Physics at a time when we have the most promising program in generations. The report is especially punishing of Fermilab's programs.

In the first major cut, the R&D on the International Linear Collider and the R&D on Super Conducting Radio Frequency (SCRF) Accelerators are cut back to 25 percent of the planned budget for FY08, a level far below FY07. Since a quarter of the fiscal year has already gone by, this essentially means a shutdown of the R&D on ILC and SCRF for the rest of the fiscal year. This is a body blow to the future of the ILC, the U.S. role in it and Fermilab
The second major cut is in NOvA, a cut whose implications we are still trying to understand but that causes enormous harm to our future neutrino program. These proposed cuts, which come on top of the very limited particle physics budgets of the last few years, are destructive of our field and our laboratory. There is no way to sugar-coat this.
This news comes to Fermilab at a time when we should be celebrating success. The American Institute of Physics selects the ten top physics results for the year throughout the world. For 2007, three of the ten are the result of Fermilab's facilities and people: the MiniBooNE result on the nature of neutrinos, the Tevatron results of CDF and DZERO at the energy frontier, and the Pierre Auger result on the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Thus, our three strategic areas, neutrinos, the high energy frontier and particle astrophysics, are all in the top ten. We could not have built a stronger foundation for the future of particle physics in the U.S., but that now is jeopardized in two of these three frontier areas of research as a consequence of the proposed Congressional budget.
Чудеса менeджмента в стpане менеджepoв.
Пикантность, для тех, кто понимает в том, что в довольно-тки убогом Ливерморе, о котором я в научном аспекте слышал пару раз в жини, настока славно с финансированием, чуваков просят покупать компы "за углом, где по пять".
===========
ПСoм парочка замечаний: 90 млн - это примерно сумма контракта Кироленко в НБА на 9 лет... Закон Паркинсона о "точке безразличия" менeджepа: "...значит в год выходит 21 фунт? Бог знает что! Да нужно ли это? Сколько они времени заседают?"
