On a government- to-government level, an example of coor- 

 dination is through the Working Group on Technology, Growth and 

 Employment, established following the 1982 Versailles Economic 

 Summit, which reports to the annual Economic Summit the 

 progress of the Summit Working Group on High Energy Physics. 

 This Summit Working Group is discussing the long-term plans of 

 the Summit countries so that they can be implemented in an 

 orderly and cost effective way, is promoting greater 

 cooperation in the technology necessary to conduct high energy 

 physics research, and is exploring ways to mitigate the 

 administrative obstacles to international cooperation. 

 Activities in high energy physics are coordinated rather 

 informally through the International Committee for Future 

 Accelerators of the International Union of Pure and Applied 

 Physics. 



There is also a Summit Working Group on Magnetic Fusion 

 which is similarly investigating the need for future large 

 facilities, technology requirements, and ways to minimize 

 administrative barriers. As previously noted, there are also 

 Summit Working Groups dealing with other energy technology 



For multilateral scientific and technological activities, 

 DOE works through the International Energy Agency (lEA) and the 

 Nuclear Energy Agency, both autonomous bodies within the 

 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The lEA 

 Committee on Research and Development conducts state-of-the-art
