Alvin W. Trivelpiece of the DOE Office of Energy Research and physicists from Stanford and Yale Universities testified on reports recommending the cancellation of the colliding beam accelerator (CBA) construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the initiation of physics experiments using the superconducting super collider (SSC). At issue were the funds already put into the CBA and the physics community's shift in support to the SSC. Trivelpiece discussed the controversy over facility funding and the uncertainties of frontier research programs before describing how funds would be allocated. The physicists discussed the background for the advisory panels recommendations. Two appendices with questions and responses and with additional material submitted for the record follow the testimony.
