FOREWORD The hearings on the Atomic Energy Commission authorizing legislation for fiscal year 1966 covered the entire AEC budget, in cluding operating as well as plant and capital equipment funds. A comprehensive review of the entire Commission program has been conducted by the Joint Committee. The hearings were held in both open and executive sessions beginning on January 27 and extending through April 13, 1965. These hearings, with appropriate supporting documentation, are divided into three parts. Each part is printed separately. The major topical items of each part are listed below: Part 1: General review of overall AEC budget. Raw materials. Special nuclear materials. Nuclear weapons. Civilian application of nuclear explosives (Plowshare). Biology and medicine. Communities. Construction planning and design. Security investigations. Program direction and administration. Part 2: Reactor development program: Part 3: Euratom. Merchant ship reactors. Army power reactors. Naval propulsion reactors. Rocket propulsion reactors. Satellite and small power sources. General reactor technology. Advanced systems research and development. Operational services. Reactor development program: Civilian power reactors. Cooperative power reactor demonstration program. Advanced converter program. The record of classified hearings, held in executive session, was reviewed by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Defense, to insure that all classified matter had been deleted prior to publication.
