Excerpt from Oversight Hearing on the High Performance Computing and Communications Program and Uses of the Information Highway: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate One Hundred Fourth Congress First Session May 4, 1995

Senator burns. We may have to bring u Mr. Toole a ain and ask some questions, and why do you not ta e the chair own the other end of that thing there. [laughter.] Senator burns. Until we get somebody foolin with it and get ting it going, just sit tight real quick, and Mr. Oole, the program was initiated in 1991, and at that time it was set up to be a 5-year program, of which we are going to take a look at reauthorization now. We are just now coming up and taking a look at our budget and, of course, we know this is important, yes, but where do we put it on the priority list, and so I guess my question is, from the ad ministration standpoint and from your standpoint, where should we be going with this program, and do you have specific plans and goals on how we are going to get there?

Excerpt from Oversight Hearing on the High Performance Computing and Communications Program and Uses of the Information Highway: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate One Hundred Fourth Congress First Session May 4, 1995

The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m. in room Sr-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Conrad Burns (chairman) presiding.

Staff members assigned to this hearing: Louis C. Whitsett, staff counsel, and Timothy B. Kyger, professional staff member; and Patrick H. Windham, minority senior professional staff.

Opening Statement Senator Burns,

Senator Burns. Good morning. It is 10 a.m. I am going to try, as we may, to move through these hearings. I am an old auctioneer, and we advertise sale time at 10 a.m., at 10 a.m. we want to be cranking, because if we do not, why, we are a little short on the other end. We have got other things to do today, so we will start this.

The hearing today, the subcommittee will examine the HPCC Program, the high performance computing and communications program. This is the fourth year of support for the HPCC Program. As we review the fiscal year 1996 budget request for the program, this seems to be an appropriate point to evaluate its progress and to revisit the question of the appropriate role for Government in this kind of a project.

We also would like to see the demonstrations of the World Wide Web that we have heard so much about. The high performance computing and communications program that we will be examining here today was established by Congress in 1991 to perform the fundamental research and engineering to enable American industry to build what everyone has come to call the information highway, the super highway.

The program is intended to be as innovative as the technologies that this program is helping to develop. The HPCC Program is composed of activities funded in eight different Federal agencies, NASA being one, and of course NOAA, and five others.
