3.3. FINANCIAL DATA ON NBS PROGRAM

The activities of the National Bureau of Standards are financed from three sources: from appropriations provided by the Congress; from payments by other agencies for specific research and development tasks; and from payments by industrial concerns, universities, research institutions, and government agencies for specific calibration or testing services. The following tabulation is a summary of the financial aspects of the Bureau programs for 1961:

The $19,578,000 program financed by the Bureau's Research and Technical Services appropriation reflects a continuation of the major program increase provided in 1960 and about a $1-million increase in salary costs due to the general pay raise.

The $2,976,000 expended in the Plant and Facilities program represents partial progress on several important facilities authorized in 1961, as well as completion of previously authorized facilities. The 1961 authorizations included the following:

(1) A new radio propagation research station near Lima, Peru, in which a 6 megawatt (peak power) radar transmitter and a 25acre antenna array will be used to exploit the incoherent scatter technique for atmospheric research.

(2) A $1.2-million addition to the main laboratory building at Boulder, Colo.

(3) An atomic beam frequency standard.

(4) Design and engineering for a nuclear research reactor of the water-moderated, enriched-fuel type, to operate initially at a power level between 5 and 10 megawatts.

The construction of facilities obligations were for continued design effort on the new laboratories at Gaithersburg, Md., and for the construction contract for the first buildings: The Engineering Mechanics Laboratory and the Power Plant. Appropriations provided in 1961 will also finance the Radiation Physics Laboratory and the high-intensity linear electron accelerator.

Total Program Levels. For a number of years the Bureau has been attempting to achieve a more adequate level of effort on basic Bureau work and to reverse the imbalance between that work and work for other agencies. The following charts show the progress to date toward these objectives. Chart I is perhaps the best index because it reflects the level of effort and is not distorted by changes in salary rates or other cost factors. The chart shows, for example, that in 1960 the research and development effort financed by the NBS appropriation finally rose above the 1950 level. It shows also that, since 1958, 50 percent of the increased effort on the Bureau's basic responsibilities has come from staff formerly financed by other agencies.
