FY08 President’s Budget Request Doug Goodman CFO Field Operations Manager February 8, 2007
FY08 Federal Budget Builds on and Reaffirms FY07 Administration Priorities • FY08 Federal budget request formally sent to the Congress and released to the public on 2/5/07 • Funding to fight the war in Iraq and global war on terror • Reduced spending growth and cuts for discretionary federal programs, with a renewed push for federal deficit reduction • Containing growth on mandatory federal programs (e.g., entitlement programs, such as Social Security, Medicare….)
FY08 DOE Request Rolled Out on 2/5/07 • Secretary Bodman and senior DOE leadership team briefed the press, congressional staff, and stakeholders on budget on 2/5/07 • DOE FY08 budget request can be viewed in its entirety by going to the DOE Budget Office’s webpage by accessing the following link: http://www.mbe.doe.gov/budget/index.htm
FY08 DOE Budget Request Builds on FY07 Five Themes in DOE’s FY08 Budget Request • Investing in World-Class Science • Advancing Energy Security • Reducing Dependence on Foreign Sources of Energy • Promoting the Use of Clean Energy • Honoring our Commitments
Leadership in Science – through the American Competitiveness Initiative • Opportunities exist for scientific and technological breakthroughs in: • Biotechnology • Nanotechnology • High performance computing and networking • Climate Change • Hydrogen Fuels • Fusion Energy • The nations at the forefront will lead the global economy
Leadership in Science – through the American Competitiveness Initiative (cont’d) • World class science requires significant investment • DOE office of Science plays a critical role in: • Stewardship of 10 world-class national laboratories • Primary builder and operator of scientific facilities in the U.S. • Educating and training the next generation of scientists and engineers • Sponsoring basic research aimed at meeting tomorrow’s growing energy challenge
Advancing Energy Security + Reduce Dependence on Foreign Energy Sources + Promote Clean Energy • Increase energy options – reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources • Following through on Advanced Energy Initiative ($2.7B) – Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, Biomass, Solar, Clean Coal, Nuclear Power 2010, Fusion Energy, Wind, Vehicle Technology • Global Nuclear Energy Partnership ($405M) • Securing against energy supply disruptions- SPR expansion ($168M) – increase capacity to 1.5B barrels by FY 2027 • Implementing a Loan Guarantee Program ($9B cap)
What does DOE FY08 budget mean to LBNL? • The Lab Table provided by DOE with its FY08 budget shows LBNL funding by office (see attachment) • Overall, requested FY08 funding total $435M, which is up ~$19M from the FY07 request of $416M • Office of Science (SC) funding is at $384M, +$11M from FY07 request • Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) funding is at $20M,+$3M from FY07 request • Work for Others funding is $8.8M, +6M from FY07 request • All other DOE offices essentially flat or slightly below FY07
In Conclusion • This is just the beginning of the FY08 process, and we’ll know a lot more about where we’re likely to land later in the year • Given the state of funding federal discretionary programs, I believe the Lab is at a good starting point in the process • The Lab’s mission is excellently suited to solve our country’s most pressing energy and scientific/technical problems and challenges
