LETTER OF SUBMITTAL 



Congressional Research Service, 



The Library of Congress, 



May 22, 1985. 

 Hon. Don Fuqua, 



Chairman, Committee on Science and Technology, 

 House of Representatives, Washington, DC 



Dear Mr. Chairman: In response to your letter to me of Novem- 

 ber 2, 1984, I am pleased to provide you with a World Inventory of 

 Big Science Research Instruments and Facilities prepared by the 

 Science Policy Research Division under the coordination of William 

 Boesman of that division. The report represents a large effort at 

 collecting information on big science facilities and was facilitated 

 by superb cooperation by several Federal agencies. 



I believe that this report will be a useful contribution to the ac- 

 tivities of the committee's Science Policy Task Force and for the 

 hearings which you plan to hold this year on the subject of 

 scientific facilities. 



The Congressional Research Service looks forward to continuing 

 to provide you with assistance in the very challenging activities of 

 the Science Policy Task Force as well as the other ongoing activi- 

 ties of the committee. 

 Sincerely, 



Gilbert Gude, 



Director.
