George J. Bradley, Jr./of DOE's International Affairs and Energy Emergencies Department was the principal witness at a hearing on the international aspects of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The high cost of high energy physics research makes cooperation between international high energy physicists and their governments even more significant than in the past. The high price tag also introduces the risk of a large scientific boondoggle, which Congressional oversight will seek to avoid. Among the ideas presented were those of construction cost sharing with other countries. An appendix with questions and responses submitted for the record follows the testimony.
