Dear Dr. Gibbons:
I am delighted to forward you the FY 1997 Implementation Plan for the High Performance Computing and Communications Program. This document describes in detail the activities planned by the twelve participating HPCC Agencies to advance the overall objectives of the Program.
The HPCC Program celebrated its fifth anniversary in October 1996, with an impressive array of significant accomplishments to its credit, many of which are described in this year's report, "Advancing the Frontiers of Information Technology: Supplement to the President's FY 1997 Budget." Both this report and the Implementation Plan have been endorsed by the Committee on Computing, Information, and Communications R&D of the National Science and Technology Council.
The detailed descriptions of the planned budgetary commitments is similar to previous year's plans and was determined through substantial interaction with the Office of Management and Budget. This document will be made available to the public in printed form and will also be accessible via the NCO World Wide Web home page at http://www.hpcc.gov.
On behalf of all the participating HPCC Agencies, the knowledgeable professionals serving in these agencies, and the many helpers and advisors from academia, industry, and the public, please accept my thanks for your leadership of this effort.
Respectfully yours,
John C. Toole
Director
Executive Office of the President | National Science and Technology Council
