As explained in the The budget request for the coming last DNP newsletter, there was a fiscal year (FY94) was submitted by complicated movement of LAMPF funds President Clinton to Congress in early for the current year. The FY93 request for April. One of the important themes Nuclear Physics was $363.4M, but this throughout the federal budget is defense was reduced by $54.4M as the LAMPF reinvestment and conversion, which budget item was moved to Defense affects a number of agencies including Programs within DOE.

As some federal funds are reduction of $9M was applied to Nuclear shifted from defense to civilian programs, Physics, as a part of the general reduction there is considerable emphasis on, for in the Energy Research budget. This example, ways to transfer technology and brought the Nuclear Physics base manufacturing techniques from defense (without LAMPF) down to $300M. So, laboratories to the private sector. what looks like a $22M increase for FY94 should really be viewed as a $32M In the Department of Energy, the decrease from the actual FY93 budget for FY94 request is for $19.6B, up from $19B Nuclear Physics, and $41M under the in the current fiscal year.

21. DNP SURVEY ON THE PUBLICATION OF RECENT REFERENCES

The Nuclear Structure References (NSR) file, which contains bibliographic information on low and intermediate energy nuclear physics is maintained by the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) at Brookhaven. New additions to the file are scheduled to appear as "Recent References" once a year in the Nuclear Data Sheets. In view of the Three Ballots for: availability of the file from the NNDC • DNP Officers and online retrieval system as well as from the NEA Data Bank, Paris and the IAEA Executive Committee. Nuclear Data Section, Vienna, we wish • Second DNP Division to survey the DNP membership as to Councilor. • Adoption of the New DNP Bylaws.
