facilities. Recognize the special need for expansion in operating and research 

 budgets of the newest accelerators before they come into full operation. 



9. Increase the support of university high-energy users groups for buildings, 

 major equipment, and computational facilities. 



10. Close down or reduce the level of operation of accelerators which become 

 relatively unproductive. The prime considerations in continuing an accelerator 

 program are its scientific significance, the suitability of the machine relative to 

 other available machines, the capacity of the group to carry out the proposed 

 program, and the provision of adequate support of research programs elsewhere. 

 Additional factors are the educational function served by the accelerator and 

 its use in preparing experiments for more costly facilities. 



11. Support the study of new accelerator principles and techniques. 



12. Recognize the need for adequate visitor housing (both short and long 

 term) at the above recommended new national facilities. 



13. Provide for a review of the high-energy physics program at .suitable 

 intervals." 



In the Eamsey panel report a total pattern of funding support was 

 proposed in the form of a time-phased schedule of new construction 

 and subsequent operation of six recommended new elements in addi- 

 tion to the *'base program." The proposed total national effort called 

 for would increase from $108 million in 1962 to $268 million in 1967, 

 to $457 million in 1972, $605 million in 1977, and $600 million in 1981. 

 The total outlay proposed for the years 1962-81 was $8,262 million.
