A passion for applying science and technology to accomplish a mission – not science and technology for its p gyown sake

A capability to marshal the full Laboratory behind projects of scale —Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), St k il St d hi Hi h P f C ti Stockpile Stewardship, High Performance Computing, National Ignition Facility (NIF), …

A focus on teams of scientists and engineers for applied projects of medium‐ to large‐scale rather than individual projects of medium‐ to large‐scale rather than individual principal investigators — it is Lawrence’s Lab

Major engagement with public policy — staff and alumni are frequently represented on national panels with a wide q y p prange of views

It has been a tremendous honor to be affiliated with the University of California for four decades

I am extraordinarily proud of the Laboratory employees and their I am extraordinarily proud of the Laboratory employees and their capabilities to bring their broad, deep expertise to areas that have been, and are certain to be, defining issues of the future

LLNL and its employees have delivered on our promises and overcome LLNL and its employees have delivered on our promises and overcome many challenges

My perspective about future challenges:• The U S is engaged in global challenges on many fronts —national security The U.S. is engaged in global challenges on many fronts national security,

environmental, energy sufficiency and economic competition• Science, technology, engineering and systems analysis are major tools in

helping to combat these challenges• DOE/NNSA Laboratories provide precious assets to the U.S. ST&E community
