In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the Office of Fusion Energy is 

 committed to international collaboration in fusion as an important resource 

 to achieve the goal of the fusion program. We are managing these activities 

 so that they support high priority program needs and protect the Nation's 

 interest in fusion. I have attached to my statement some additional comments 

 on the major issues of interest to the Committee as they pertain to the 

 Fusion program. I would be pleased to address any of your questions or 

 expand on any of the topics I have touched on. Thank you.
