“In 1961 the federal government spent $87 million for research, construction, and equipment in the field of high‐energy physics. In the current fiscal year, government expenditures for high‐energy physics are estimated to total $173 million. Studies have indicated that by 1975 the federal government may be spending nearly one‐half billion dollars per year to support this program. The burden, therefore, rests with the scientists in this field to communicate to the Congress and the public, the objectives, the needs, and the social benefits of high‐energy physics research.”
