UC
Faces Congress
On Los Alamos Issue
University
of California leadership spent another difficult
day in Washington yesterday addressing the concerns
of Congress about the recent financial audits
at Los Alamos National Laboratory. UC President
Richard Atkinson was again non-committal on
the institution’s decision about competing
for the management contract. But Department
of Energy Deputy Secretary Kyle McSlarrow made
it clear that Berkeley Lab’s contract is
not in danger. "That decision has been
made," he said, referring to the DOE’s
intent to renegotiate the UC contract with Berkeley
Lab for another five years. UC’s memo on
the hearings can be read here.

The
University of California announced yesterday
that it has reached a tentative agreement with
the Coalition of University Employees on a new
labor contract for UC clerical employees. (Berkeley
Lab had reached agreement on wages with CUE
last year). CUE notified university officials
late Wednesday night that its members voted
to accept a settlement agreement proposed by
state mediator Micki Callahan. Full

to Compete ‘New’ Idaho Lab Contract
WASHINGTON
-- U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham announced
today that the Department of Energy will compete and
award separate contracts to implement the Department's
plan to revitalize the nuclear energy mission at its
Idaho laboratory complex and to accelerate the environmental
cleanup of the site. The laboratory, which will be renamed
the Idaho National Laboratory, will specialize in developing
advanced nuclear energy technologies and other ways
of responding to the nation's future energy and national
security requirements. Full
