**February 8, 2007**

## FY08 Federal Budget Builds on and Reaffirms FY07 Administration Priorities

- FY08 Federal budget request formally sent to the Congress and released to the public on 2/5/07
- Funding to fight the war in Iraq and global war on terror
- Reduced spending growth and cuts for discretionary federal programs, with a renewed push for federal deficit reduction
- Containing growth on mandatory federal programs (e.g., entitlement programs, such as Social Security, Medicare....)

## FY08 DOE Request Rolled Out on 2/5/07

- Secretary Bodman and senior DOE leadership team briefed the press, congressional staff, and stakeholders on budget on 2/5/07
- DOE FY08 budget request can be viewed in its entirety by going to the DOE Budget Office’s webpage by accessing the following link: http://www.mbe.doe.gov/budget/index.htm

## FY08 DOE Budget Request Builds on FY07

- Five Themes in DOE’s FY08 Budget Request
- Investing in World-Class Science
- Advancing Energy Security
- Reducing Dependence on Foreign Sources of Energy
- Promoting the Use of Clean Energy
- Honoring our Commitments

## Leadership in Science – through the American Competitiveness Initiative

- Opportunities exist for scientific and technological breakthroughs in:
- Biotechnology
- Nanotechnology
- High performance computing and networking
- Climate Change
- Hydrogen Fuels
- Fusion Energy
- The nations at the forefront will lead the global economy

## Leadership in Science – through the American Competitiveness Initiative (cont’d)

- World class science requires significant investment
- DOE office of Science plays a critical role in:
- Stewardship of 10 world-class national laboratories
- Primary builder and operator of scientific facilities in the U.S.
- Educating and training the next generation of scientists and engineers
- Sponsoring basic research aimed at meeting tomorrow’s growing energy challenge

## Advancing Energy Security + Reduce Dependence on Foreign Energy Sources + Promote Clean Energy

- Increase energy options – reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources
- Following through on Advanced Energy Initiative ($2.7B) – Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, Biomass, Solar, Clean Coal, Nuclear Power 2010, Fusion Energy, Wind, Vehicle Technology
- Global Nuclear Energy Partnership ($405M)
- Securing against energy supply disruptions- SPR expansion ($168M) – increase capacity to 1.5B barrels by FY 2027
- Implementing a Loan Guarantee Program ($9B cap)

## Slide 8

## What does DOE FY08 budget mean to LBNL?

- The Lab Table provided by DOE with its FY08 budget shows LBNL funding by office (see attachment)
- Overall, requested FY08 funding total $435M, which is up ~$19M from the FY07 request of $416M
- Office of Science (SC) funding is at $384M, +$11M from FY07 request
- Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) funding is at $20M,+$3M from FY07 request
- Work for Others funding is $8.8M, +6M from FY07 request
- All other DOE offices essentially flat or slightly below FY07

## In Conclusion

- This is just the beginning of the FY08 process, and we’ll know a lot more about where we’re likely to land later in the year
- Given the state of funding federal discretionary programs, I believe the Lab is at a good starting point in the process
- The Lab’s mission is excellently suited to solve our country’s most pressing energy and scientific/technical problems and challenges
