  For your information --


  The Republican "Contract with America" calls for cutting $1.23 billion
  from the budget for high performance computing, because "much of this
  research can be done in the private sector."


[ and from djf:


       Over the next five years,


       * National Science Foundation -- cut $346 million
       * High Performance Computing  -- cut $1.23 billion
       * Eliminate the Advanced Technology Program ($819 million)
