Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES





Increasing Costs, Competition May

Hinder U.S. Position Of Leadership

In High Energy Physics



The United States is seeking to maintain world
leadership in making significant discoveries in
high energy physics. However, with increasing
costs and competition, the U.S. physics com-
munity is concerned that its leadership is being
lost to Western Europe.

For the past 30 years, the United States has
led the world in high energy physics research;
other countries are now challenging that lead.
This. research--the study of the structure and
properties of matter and energy in their most
basic form--is basic research at the frontiers of
science. Maintaining a leadership position in
the field is considered important because it
provides a nation's or group of nations' physi-
cists with greater opportunities for making
major discoveries and thus advancing the state
of knowledge--the principal goal of high
energy physicists.
