NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the

National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy

of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of

the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences and with regard

for appropriate balance.

This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures

approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sci-

ences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council was established by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916

to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of further-

ing knowledge and of advising the federal government. The Council operates in accordance with

general policies determined by the Academy under the authority of its congressional charter of

1863, which establishes the Academy as a private, nonprofit, self-governing membership corpora-

tion. The Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of

Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in the conduct of their services to the govern-

ment, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. It is administered jointly by both

Academies and the Institute of Medicine. The National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of

Medicine were established in 1964 and 1970, respectively, under the charter of the National

Academy of Sciences.

The Board on Physics and Astronomy is pleased to acknowledge generous support for the

Physics Survey from the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the Department

of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Commerce, the

American Physical Society, Coherent (Laser Products Division), General Electric Company, Gen-

eral Motors Foundation, and International Business Machines Corporation.
