                                 ______


                            HON. BILL BAKER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. BAKER of California. Mr. Speaker, for decades, Lawrence Livermore 
National Laboratory [LLNL] has made a decisive contribution to 
America's technological leadership. Our national security has been 
enhanced and our energy future made more promising because of the lab's 
remarkable efforts.
  Recently two of LLNL's most outstanding scientists, John Lindl and 
Michael Campbell, have been selected to receive the Department of 
Energy's prestigious E.O. Lawrence Award for their work in inertial 
confinement fusion. John Lindl is from my home town of Danville, while 
Michael Campbell hails from Livermore, also in the 10th Congressional 
District I am honored to represent.
  The Lindl-Campbell research may eventually lead to creation of a 
miniature star in the laboratory, and help in the development of fusion 
energy. Their research also may well lead to gains in nuclear 
nonproliferation efforts and in the monitoring of America's nuclear 
weapons stockpiles.
  The E.O. Lawrence Award is given for work in eight categories; Lindl 
and Campbell's was for work in the national security arena. I am 
pleased to recognize the superb work these scientists are doing on 
behalf of our security and our energy future, and would emphasize that 
the Lawrence Award once again proves the value of our national 
laboratories to our country.
