## Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy

**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.  **

**Notes:**

He is presently on a leave of absence from the State University of New York at Stony Brook where he served as President and Professor from 1980 to 1994 and as a University Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering from 1994 to 1997.  Marburger served as the Dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences at the University of Southern California from 1976 to 1980.  He has been a member of numerous professional, civic and philanthropic organizations including the Universities Research Association, the Advisory Committee to the New York State Senate Committee on Higher Education and the Board of Directors of the Museums at Stony Brook.  He is a graduate of Princeton University and received a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University. 

During his presidency at Stony Brook, Dr. Marburger served on numerous boards and committees. His service included being Chairman of the New York State Governor's Commission on the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant and Chairman of the 80-campus Universities Research Association, which operates Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago and the former Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory in Texas.
Dr. Marburger received a B.A. in physics from Princeton University in 1962 and a Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University in 1967.

During his tenure at Brookhaven:
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the world's newest and largest particle accelerator for nuclear physics research, became operational and produced intriguing results in record time.  
Brookhaven scientists detected what may be the first truly significant deviation from the Standard Model of particle physics.  
The Laboratory expanded its Center for Imaging and Neuroscience, advancing its groundbreaking studies of how various diseases, aging, and addictive drugs affect the brain.  
Brookhaven scientists began collaborating in a systematic study of human proteins, a logical outgrowth of the human genome initiative. 
Nine internal Laboratory organizations received ISO14001 registration, an internationally recognized standard of excellence in environmental management. The entire Laboratory recently underwent an independent review and has been recommended for registration. 
Dr. Marburger has also expanded Brookhaven's emphasis on technology transfer and collaboration with industrial partners.
In addition, Dr. Marburger is playing a significant role in advancing environmental restoration at the Laboratory. Acting on this commitment, he advocated the establishment of the Laboratory's Community Advisory Council to foster better communications with Brookhaven's stakeholders.
Dr. Marburger came to Long Island in 1980 from the University of Southern California (USC), where, in the 1970s, he had been a professor of physics and electrical engineering. He had served as Chairman of USC's Physics Department and Dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. While at USC, Dr. Marburger contributed to the field of nonlinear optics, an area of growing interest since the invention of the laser in 1960. He had developed a theory for various laser phenomena and was co-founder of USC's Center for Laser Studies. His teaching activities included "Frontiers of Electronics," a series of educational programs on CBS television.
Dr. Marburger's tenure at Stony Brook resulted in many noteworthy accomplishments. During his presidency, the University Hospital was opened and biological sciences became one of the university's major strengths. During his term in the 1980s, federally sponsored scientific research at Stony Brook grew to exceed that of any other public university in the northeastern United States. Other important milestones during his term of office included: acquisition of the house of artists Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner; creation of the on-campus Long Island State Veterans Nursing Home; improvement of athletic facilities, including the indoor sports complex; expansion and rehabilitation of major residence halls; revision of the campus master plan to revitalize the campus center and provide more activity space; construction of a campus sewage plant and cogeneration plant; and establishment of the Long Island Technology Incubator.
During his presidency at Stony Brook, Dr. Marburger served on numerous boards and committees. His service included being Chairman of the New York State Governor's Commission on the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant and Chairman of the 80-campus Universities Research Association, which operates Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago and the former Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory in Texas.
Dr. Marburger received a B.A. in physics from Princeton University in 1962 and a Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University in 1967.

## 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.**

## 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.***

## Investment Decision Considerations

**Macro-trends influencing DOE, SC, and BES**
*	*
**Tool-driven science revolutions**(*See following chart*)
**The increase in public demand for safe, reliable, efficient, environmentally responsible energy production and use**
**9 / 11 / 2001**
**National funding trends**
**Evolving roles of lab, university, and industrial research sectors**** **** **
**International science**

***Investment Decision Considerations***

**Notes:**
Three macro-trends shaping the BES program.
Managing in a Time of Great Change -- Peter Drucker
Common theme -- changes that have already happened.  In a time of great change, we cannot necessarily predict changes; however we can take action on changes that have happened.  Most frequently, corporations will not recognize changes or will ignore them. Executives are paid to execute -- that is, to make effective action.  That they can only do in contemplation of the present, and by exploiting changes that have already taken place.   Actions in the present are the only way to make the future. 
Tool-driven science revolutions
We must be the master of these tools, not let the tools master us.  We must make investment strategies that optimize the use of these new tools.
Evolving roles of labs and university sectors
Trends:  Changing missions for DOE labs; confusion about energy mission; everywhere too many progeny from the 60s-80s; universities forming major liaisons with industry; industry backing out of basic research; many others, including economic, social, ...
The founding business theory of the laboratories (independent, DOE supported R&D organizations) is obsolete.  What is the new theory that will be supported by labs, universities, and Congress?  
National and local funding
Funding for physical sciences has not kept pace with progeny production or with the appetite of the scientific community.  This has driven new (not necessarily good) business theories for both the labs AND the universities.  As federal executives, we must be part of a solution, one that may not be easy.
The obvious solutions to macrotrends, namely focus investments, have been stated many times, but are usually at odds with the political process.  Changes can be made at the 10-15% level each year, but in general have not been.
Concept-driven revolutions:  zero; quantum mechanics; natural selection; mass-energy conversion; gravity; celestial motion
Tool-driven revolutions:  telescope;  microscope; diffraction; transistor/computer; laser;  

## Tool-Driven Revolutions and Their Impacts

**Lasers**
**Probe microscopies**
**High-speed, parallel processors**
**Accelerator and detector technologies**
**(Comparatively primitive) molecular assembly and disassembly techniques**
**The outcomes of these tools have been new knowledge, understanding, control**

**Almost complete control and manipulation of materials at the mesoscale/microscale**
**Forays into manipulation of materials at the atomic-scale using man-made tools and Mother Nature’s assembly tricks**
**Fundamental structures of matter and the relation to evolution and the fate of the universe**
**Subsequent revolutions**
**Nanotechnology**
**Biotechology**
**Computational modeling, complementing experiment and theory**
**Control of chemical reactivity to produce desired products with the absence of unwanted byproducts**

## Synchrotron Light Sources – The Success StoryFrom the Province of Specialists in the 1980s to a Widely Used Tool in the 21st Century

***The number of researchers using the synchrotron radiation light sources is expected to reach ~11,000 annually when beamlines are fully instrumented.***

_***Who funds the light sources?***_
***The Basic Energy Sciences program provides the complete support for the operations of these facilities.  Furthermore, BES continues as the dominant supporter of research in the physical sciences, providing as much as 85% of all federal funds for beamlines, instruments, and PI support.  Many other agencies, industries, and private sponsors provide support for instrumentation and research in specialized areas such as protein crystallography.***

***Synchrotron Light Sources – The Success Story******From the Province of Specialists in the 1980s to a Widely Used Tool in the 21st Century***
