  3. USSP: The Beginnings OBJECTIVE: To react to identified, urgent needs more quickly than could be met through IAEA administrative procedures One-time funding allocation to solve all technical needs

  4. USSP: The Beginnings Firsts: First Member State Support Program First Cost Free Experts David Rundquist, John Foley

  5. USSP: The Beginnings Herb Kouts’ (TSO) idea 1975 – US delegation led by Senator John Glenn visited Vienna 1977 – USSP established

  6. USSP: The Beginnings USSP Established January 1977 Technical Support Coordinating Committee established First Program Plan approved February 1977 98 Tasks Initial Budget: $2.6 million $23 million spent in first 5 years over $200 million pledged to date
