\section{Conclusions}
\label{Summary}

In summary, the Muon Collaboration is developing the knowledge and ability
to create, manipulate, and accelerate muon beams. Our R\&D program will
position the HEP community such that, when it requires a Neutrino Factory or
a Muon Collider, we shall be in a position to provide it. A staged plan for
the deployment of a Neutrino Factory has been developed that provides an
active neutrino and muon physics program at each stage. The requisite R\&D
program is diversified over laboratories and universities and has
international participation.

The very fortuitous situation of having  intermediate steps along this path,
THAT offer a powerful and exciting physics program in THEIR own right,
presents an ideal scientific opportunity, and it is hoped that the particle
physics community will be able to take advantage of it.
