FY2007 President’s Request for DOE Office of Science –$4.1B FY2007 Allocated budget DOE Office of Science –$3.8B Shortfall –$300M

FY2008 President’s Request for DOE Office of Science –$4.4B FY2008 Allocated budget DOE Office of Science –$4B Shortfall –$400M

DOE Basic Energy Sciences Allocated Budget FY07$1.25B President’s Request FY08$1.5 B Allocated Budget FY08$1.3 B Resulting shortfall nationally ~$200 M At SLAC –LCLS Construction fully funded –PULSE space renovation in Bldg. 40 fully funded –LUSI project ramped up –SSRL approximately flat –XLAM and PULSE growth scaled back

Program SLAC LCLS and LUSI construction will proceed –early operations for LCLS at the end of FY09 and CD-4 for LCLS in SSRL will likely curtail user operations in FY08 by 15% ILC SLAC will be stopped for this year. The future is uncertain. The B-factory program will terminate at the beginning of March

Staffing SLAC To cope with the budget realities of FY08 and prepare for FY09 –Involuntary layoff of 125 additional people from the lab –This is in additional to the program in process (announced Nov. 2) to readjust the skills mix at the lab to optimize the workforce for future LCLS operations

SLAC 1 Year from Now Opening new scientific frontiers with start of LCLS commissioning and subsequent operations –Continued strong user and research program at SSRL –Continued leadership in particle physics, astrophysics and accelerator research –Continued leadership in ultrafast science and advanced materials Smaller laboratory staff More effective mission support services More focused scientific programs Stronger ties to Stanford main campus We should not underestimate the challenges but the opportunities ahead of us are great
