Fermi Director Encouraged By Outpouring Of Support

Can't go a few days without issues surrounding the budget cuts, can we? :)

This is a good news article containing an interview with Pier Oddone, the Director of Fermilab, and his view on the budget cuts and the state of Fermilab. It isn't easy being the Lab Director of any of the US Nat'l Lab right now, but it is extra difficult for both Fermilab and SLAC.

And things may not get any better either, depending on the initial look at the President's FY09 budget. If it is similar to the Omnibus budget, then science in the US will collapse.

Zz.
