Jefferson Lab (JLab), the newest of the U.S. Department of Energy's 16 national laboratories, has been functioning effectively since its inception in 1984, first during construction and now during operations. As shown in this report, JLab aligns itself directly with DOE's strategic planning, both in terms of laboratory visions and plans and in terms of actual laboratory performance. Most importantly, JLab contributes significantly to DOE's Science and Technology mission in the area of nuclear physics, under the Office of Science. The laboratory practices continuous improvement and has made a number of important effectiveness and efficiency enhancements in recent years. Laboratory performance has been demonstrated by completion of the construction phase on cost and schedule, by exceeding technical specifications when coming on-line for physics research, and now during operations by earning ratings of ''outstanding'' relative to the performance measures in the laboratory's performance-based contract with DOE.
