The White House's plan for a 10-year doubling of the research budgets at three important agencies passed its first hurdle last week after the U.S. House of Representatives met the president's request to boost funding next year for the Office of Science at the Department of Energy by 14%, to $4.1 billion. That office, which supports most U.S. fundamental physics, is part of the American Competitiveness Initiative, which includes the National Science Foundation and the in-house labs of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, whose 2007 budgets have yet to be drafted. Research lobbyists now turn to the Senate, where expectations are high.
