Highlights of the DIII-D Research Operations task are: completed five weeks tokamak operations; initiated summer vent; achievement of 10.7% beta; carried out first dimensionless transport scaling experiment; completed IBW program; demonstrated divertor heat reduction with gas puffing; field task proposals presented to OFE; presentation of DIII-D program to FPAC; made presentation to Admiral Watkins; and SAN safety review. Summaries are given on research programs, operations, program development, hardware development, operations support and collaborative efforts. Brief summaries of progress on the International Cooperation task include: TORE SUPRA, ASDEX, JFT-2M, and JET. Funding for work on CIT physics was received this quarter. Several physics R and D planning tasks were initiated. Earlier in FY90, a poloidal field coil shaping system (PFC) was found for DIGNITOR. This quarter more detailed analysis has been done to optimize the design of the PFC system.

During this period, the ARIES-I blanket design team completed the preparation of the ARIES-I reactor design final report. The helium-cooled, lithium breeder, SiC composite structure blanket option for the ARIES-II was evaluated and it was found that the corrosion resistance of the SiC in lithium is very poor. At the direction of DOE/OFE, the ARIES team was directed to defer work on the ARIES-II and to begin work immediately on the ARIES-III advanced fuel (D-{sup 3}He) tokamak design. Also, Varian EIMAC completed fabrication of two X2274 tetrode tubes and shipped them to Japan for testing on schedule. JAERI carried out the testing and both tubes operated successfully above specifications. The US and Chinese beryllium shells were shipped to Osaka University in Japan, beginning the second phase of the ``Coordinated U.S./PRC, U.S./Japan and Japan/PRC Fusion Neutron Integral Experiments.`` New fusion nuclear data experiments are being initiated for O(n,alpha) and Tc{sup 99}(n,p) cross section. Finally, the design and installation of the DiMES in-vessel components on DIII-D was completed.

Executive summary of the U.S. Global Change Research Program annual report, documenting activities and progress, goals for the upcoming year, proposed budget considerations, and other information about the organization for fiscal year 1990.

From FY1989 through FY2006, 33 appropriations, authorization, or farm disaster acts added approximately $55.4 billion in supplemental funding for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs. The two most recent supplemental appropriations were provided in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the Gulf of Mexico and in preparation for a possible U.S. outbreak of avian influenza. Some FY1989, the vast majority of the total supplemental funding has been paid directly to farmers, primarily through two mechanisms: "market loss payments" and crop disaster payments. This report includes the total annual funding additions in the 33 acts providing economic and farm disaster assistance through USDA programs since FY1989.
