Navy Shipbuilding: Generatl Dynamics' Proposed Acquisition of Newport News Shipbuilding-Issues for Congress 스크랩

  • Ronald O'Rourke

  • 기계

On April 25, 2001, General Dynamics Corporation(GD) of Fairfax, VA and Newport News Shipbuilding(NNS) of Newport News, VA, announced an agreement under which GD would purchase NNS for about $2.6 billion(including assumption of about $500 million in NNS debt). Pending shareholder and federal regulatory approval, the firms expect the acquisition to be completed by the third quarter of 2001. GD currently owns three of six shipyards that build the Navy's major ships. NNS, an independent, publicly traded firm, is the fourth, and the two remaining shipyards are owned by Northrop Grumman. In 1999, GD withdrew a proposal to purchase NNS that the Department of Defense(DoD) did not support due to concerns over the potential effect of the merger on competition. The current GD proposal raises issues for Congress regarding potential savings from the merger and the potential impact on competition in Navy ship acquisition. This report supplements a 1999 CRS report and will be updated as events warrant.

For FY2002, DOE is requesting $7.99 billion for all R&D activities: Energy Resources, Science, National Security, and Environmental Quality. This request i sa decrease of 2.9% below the FY2001 level. For civilian R&D programs (Energy Resouces and Science), the request is $4.40 billion, a 5.8% decrease from FY2001. For defense R&D(National Security and Defense Environmental Managemtn), the FY002 request is $3.60 billion, a 0.5% increase over FY2001. DOE states that the request is designed to meet Administration priorities and to respond to policy reviews currently underway that involve DOE missions.

National Missile Defense: Russia's Reaction 스크랩

  • 기계

In the late 1990s, the United States began to focus on the possible deployment of defenses against long-range ballistic missiles. The planned National Missile Defense(NMD) system would have exceeded the terms of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Recognizing this, the Clinton Administration sought to convince Russia to modify the terms of the Treaty. But Russia was unwilling to accept any changes to the Treaty. It also decried the U.S. plan to deploy NMD, insisting that it would upset strategic stability and start a new arms race.

The Advanced Technology Program 스크랩

The Advanced Technology Program(ATP) was created by P.L. 100-418, the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, to encourage public-private cooperation in the development of pre-competitive technologies with broad application across industries. Administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST), a laboratory of the Department of Commerce, this activity has been targeted for elimination as a means to cut federal spending. However, strong support by the Clinton Administration led to continued ATP funding in FY1997 and FY1998, although at redued levels. Appropriations for FY1999 were 3% above the previous year; in FY2000 funding decreased 28% to $142.6 million. In FY2001, the President requested a 23% increase in support for ATP while the original appropriations bill passed by the House included no financing for the program. However, P.L. 106-553 appropriated $145.7 million for ATP, 2% morethan the previous year. The FY2002 budget submitted by President Bush suspends granting new awards pending an evaluation of the program and provides $13 million only to support on-going project commitments.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology : An Overview 스크랩

  • 과학기술과 인문사회

The National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST), a laboratory of the Department of Commerce, was a major player in the Clinton Administration's strategy for civilian technology investment. However, the 104th Congress cut funding levels 18% between FY 1995 and FY 1997. In FY 1998, this trend was temporarily reversed when the NIST budget increased 20% primarily due to additional financing for construction. FY 1999 appropriations were 5% below the previous year, while FY 2000 support remined constant. In FY2001, the NIST appropriation decreased 6% to $598.3 million as a result of fewer construciton dollars. For FY2002, President Bush has requested $487.5 million to fund NIST, almost 19% below the current fiscal year. While new funding for the Advanced Technology Program would be curtailed, the budget proposal includes an 11% percent increase in support for the laboratory's internal research and development activities.
