o The basic motive is national self-interest, providing and 

 receiving scientific and technical resources in order to 

 achieve an earlier return on the resource expenditure than 

 would otherwise be possible. 



o The agreements should provide for a workable system of 



management and decision making to get the project done on time. 



o The effort should call on U.S. industry as well as the fusion 

 research community to the greatest extent possible. 



o The agreements should provide for licensing and technology 

 transfer between the partners, such that U.S. industry will 

 have access at a reasonable price to elements of technology 

 provided by partners but not duplicated by U.S. industry under 

 the agreements. 



The formulation of a set of negotiating principles would be an 

 appropriate task for a group of key people representing industry, 

 laboratories, and universities to advise the Secretary of Energy. The 

 work of this group should also be made available to the Director of 

 the Office of Science and Technology Policy, officials of the 

 Department of State, and others who will have a voice in what 

 international cooperation is actually proposed and undertaken. The 

 subject is important enough to receive top level attention.
