In May 1995, the AGS reached its upgrade intensity goal of 6{times}10{sup 13} ppp, the highest world intensity record for a proton synchrotron on a single pulse basis. At the same time, the Booster reached 2.2{times}10{sup 13} ppp surpassing the design goal of 1.5{times}10{sup 13} ppp due to the introduction of second harmonic cavity during injection. The critical accelerator manipulations, such as resonance stopband corrections, second harmonics cavity, direct rf feedback, gamma-transition jump, longitudinal phase space dilution, and transverse instability damping, will be described as well as some beam measurements. Possible future intensity and brightness upgrades will also be reported. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
