Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee Roster
The Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development is responsible for writing an appropriations bill that funds, among other areas, the physics-related programs within the Department of Energy: Basic Energy Sciences, Fusion Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, and Nuclear Physics. (While most DOE programs are funded under this bill, some are funded within the Interior Department appropriations bill.) Below is the roster for this subcommittee for the second session of the 105th Congress. (FYI #61 will contain information on the comparable House subcommittee.) Information on rosters comes from the Congressional Quarterly’s Washington Alert. (The chairman and ranking member of the full Appropriations Committee, Republican Ted Stevens of Alaska and Democrat Robert Byrd of West Virginia are ex officio members of all subcommittees.)
