Status of the FY 2004 Appropriations Process
With the new federal fiscal year now more than a month old, the FY 2004
appropriations process continues to crawl towards completion. Last week
the Congress finished the conference on the $87.5 billion Iraq and
Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act. As soon as it is ratified
by the Senate, it will be sent to the President for signature. The FY
2004 Interior Appropriations Act is also expected to receive final
Congressional approval this week. Once this bill is signed into law
it will join the Defense, Homeland Security and Legislative Branch
Appropriations bills as the only FY 2004 appropriations acts to be completed.

From Physics Today, November 2003 Disappointing Collider Performance and Tight Budgets Confront Fermilab With Tough Decisions By Bertram Schwarzschild | |

The goal remains to get the most physics out of the world's highest-energy accelerator before that title passes to CERN at the end of the decade.
The final shutdown of the Large Electron-Positron Collider at CERN three years ago left Fermilab's Tevatron collider as the world's only accelerator at the so-called energy frontier of particle physics. And the Tevatron will retain that unique status for another five years or so, until the baton passes to the Large Hadron Collider, now under construction in the vacated LEP tunnel.

Good Morning!
Most of the work in the tunnels is now complete, and the items on the punch
list are being addressed. People are starting the long transition back
to accelerator operations: buttoning things back up, checking out the
refurbished systems, and restarting the accelerators.
This weekend, for example, the first protons were extracted from the Booster to send to the MiniBooNE target. We will realize the benefits to the scientific program over the next year, with more protons for MiniBooNE, more luminosity for CDF and DZero, and a rapid approach to the first neutrinos for MINOS. Thanks to all of the people around the laboratory who contributed to renewing and improving the Fermilab accelerators.

| Yesterday Fermilab Today announced that the video, "Fermilab Stories" would be showing on November 4 at noon in One West. This date is incorrect. "Fermilab Stories" will not be shown today. The video can be seen next Tuesday, November 11 at noon in One West. Fermilab Today apologizes for any confusion. |
