LBL Director Charles Shank has announced the appointment of Klaus Berkner as the new Deputy Director for Operations. With the new appointment, effective October 1, the functions of operations and administration will be brought under the management of a single senior executive for the first time.
"I am pleased that the UC Board of Regents has approved this appointment," Shank said. "The new organization will provide a more efficient infrastructure for supporting the Laboratory's research programs."
Organizational integration with elimination of redundancies and fragmentation is one of the key requisites called for in Vision 2000, the strategic plan for ensuring that LBL maintains its position as one of the nation's premier scientific institutions. The creation of this new deputy director position and the appointment of Berkner to fill it are considered major steps towards achieving that requirement and "making an LBL that works."
As part of the organizational changes taking place with the Berkner appointment, Associate Laboratory Director Rod Fleischman, formerly head of the Administration Division, will now be in charge of industrial program development and government and community relations.
"This change," Shank said, "provides the long overdue emphasis on outreach to private industry and other non-traditional sponsors that is vital in the current competitive environment."
Piermaria Oddone remains LBL's principal Deputy Director, with responsibility for scientific policy and program development, major new laboratory initiatives, and the Office of Planning and Development, which will now be known as the Office of Planning and Communication.
The changes announced by Shank represent the first major reorganization of the Laboratory since 1991, when the position of ALD, Operations, was created. Berkner took that job after having directed the Accelerator and Fusion Research Division since 1984.
A graduate of UC Berkeley with a Ph.D. in physics, Berkner began his career at LBL in 1964, working in the magnetic fusion energy group. He went on to oversee operations of the neutral beam program and the design and construction of the Neutral Beam Engineering Test Facility. The NBETF was a highly acclaimed national test facility at LBL used to develop neutral beam injectors for the fusion energy program.
Berkner said he has no immediate plans for changes in the current organizational structures of the administration and operation divisions, but expects there will be some changes in the future.
"My plans are to first get a better feel for what everybody is doing before making any changes," he said. "An evaluation of all administration services, including those in the scientific program divisions, has been underway (led by Cheryl McFate) and I will be looking at the recommendations that follow."
Fleischman came to LBL in 1991 to head administration. Prior to his LBL appointment, he was with the Battelle Memorial Institute, which manages the Pacific Northwest Laboratory. He said his experiences there as a research line manager, and later, as vice president of management and business systems development should serve him well in his new role.
"LBL has been performing significant work for private industry, but we have the potential to do much more in the way of establishing enduring business relationships," Fleischman said. "Director Shank has asked me to escalate our collaborations with non-traditional sponsors and to strengthen our ties to traditional partners.
"My near-term focus will be on establishing a strong market analysis and business development presence for LBL. Concurrently, we will be strengthening our internal network with LBL's scientific divisions. Our job is to bring LBL expertise and technology together to solve important problems for new industrial and government clients."
Answering to Fleischman now will be the Technology Transfer Department, headed by Cheryl Fragiadakis, and the Government and Community Relations Department, headed by Reid Edwards.
Credibility with the public as it pertains to funding for scientific research was a key issue at a public meeting convened on September 23 in Oakland to discuss the National Energy Policy Plan.
LBL Director Charles Shank was one of 11 panelists who discussed the theme of "Science and Technology for Sustainable Development." The public meeting is one of eight taking place around the country to solicit public input on the 1995 National Energy Policy Plan, which President Clinton will submit to Congress next year.
The roundtable discussion was moderated by UC Vice President Walter Massey, who charged that the fundamental questions are: "What is the appropriate role of government in science? And further, should the government, through the spending of public funds, assign priorities to science and engineering research, and to the development and deployment of new technologies?"
Under Secretary of Energy Charles Curtis led off the discussion. "One of our major problems is that the public trust in government has been shattered," he said. "The public will no longer [automatically] accept the judgment of DOE regarding the investment of tax dollars into basic and applied science."
Defining "sustainable development" as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, the panelists stressed the need for the national labs and other scientific organizations to improve the public's understanding and appreciation of science and technology.
Martha Krebs, head of DOE's Office of Energy Research, the primary funding agency of the national labs, noted that the national laboratories have been the primary recipients of public funds for science. "We need to determine how to best use this past investment to build a sustainable future if we want continued support."
Curtis added, "We face a basic issue in which the validity of the public's previous investment in science and technology is being questioned. We're probably not going to convince Congress to increase funding (above current levels) so we are going to have to get smarter about spending what money we have."
Shank pointed out the extraordinary role the national labs have played in the past and argued that they continue to represent the most prudent investment of tax dollars for science and technology research. It was his strong conviction, however, that a future role will have to include partnerships with American industry.
"We can't just develop a technology and throw it out into the world for industry to develop," Shank said. "We must work together in real time with industrial scientists to solve their technological problems. Technology transfer must be kept in mind at every step of the way in research."
"Everyone keeps saying that national laboratories must change," said Alvin Trivelpiece, director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. "Well, the national laboratories have changed, and there are many more industrial partnerships underway now than ever before. But we need to get this message out to those who haven't heard it."
There was a general agreement among all the panelists that current and future benefits will have to be weighed against the cost of pursuing research and development in order to maximize the social return on the investment of tax dollars in science and technology. Partnerships between government and private institutions hold promise but also carry risks.
"We must guard against promising the public more than we can deliver," Massey cautioned.
"We need to be grounded in the truth in what we claim or else we create doubts that affect the credibility of all science," Trivelpiece agreed.
Trivelpiece, speaking on behalf of the other lab directors on the panel, said that the government can assign priorities to research but "wishing does not always make it so." He likened the dilemma facing the scientific community to the three laws of thermodynamics which state that "you can't win, you can't break even, and you can't quit the game."
The other panelists for the morning roundtable discussion included Martin Blume, deputy director of Brookhaven National Laboratory; Linda Capuano, vice president of Conductus, Inc.; Richard Celeste, former governor of Ohio; Robert Conn, dean of engineering at UC San Diego; Mike Eaves, transportation manager, Southern California Gas Co. Fritz Kalhammer Electric Power Research Institute; and Albert Narath, director of Sandia National Laboratory.

Beginning Monday, Oct. 3, the Human Resources Department, located on the second floor at 1936 University Ave. in Berkeley (Promenade Building, between Milvia Street and MLKJ Way), will be open for visitors Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. After 1 p.m., employees may schedule an appointment.
The LBL shuttle bus stops one block away from the Promenade Building, on Milvia Street. Your LBL parking permit allows you to park in the garage on the Addison Street side of the building.
Benefits Services
The Benefits Office is located on the second floor of the Promenade Building, in the Human Resources Department (see previous item). For your convenience, most commonly requested forms are available in several locations at the LBL. If your division office does not have the form you need, you can pick them up at the Reception Center, Bldg. 65, or outside the Cashier's Office on the first floor in Bldg. 90.
Utilizing the following steps will assist the Benefits Office in providing more timely service:
CJO changes
As a means to reduce overhead costs, the Human Resources Department has made several changes in the production of the Lab's Current Job Opportunities (CJO) bulletin.
Effective immediately, newly posted jobs will be described in their entirety only during the first two weeks of publication. Jobs remaining open beyond two weeks will be listed in their appropriate sections by job number, classification, division, working title, and salary range. Complete job descriptions may be reviewed at the Staffing Office, 1936 University Ave., and at the Reception Center, Bldg. 65. Listings may also be viewed on Internet via Gopher or Mosaic. Consult the front cover of the CJO bulletin for access information.
As a further cost-saving measure, the CJO will no longer be given out to job seekers. Copies will be distributed only to employees affected by layoff (one copy), division or personnel administrators, and department heads (Level 4 distribution). However, the CJO will continue to be posted in the Human Resources Department, the State of California Employment Development Department offices, and many Bay Area libraries, colleges, and job information agencies.
Finally, effective immediately, the CJO will be printed biweekly rather than weekly. These combined changes should result in a savings of approximately $70,000.
Site Access Services
Downsizing and consolidation at the Laboratory have meant that some Site Access Services functions will be available during more limited hours. Beginning Monday, Oct. 3, the services listed below are available:
Site Access services, Access, and Hours

The Galvin Task Force on Alternative Futures for DOE National Laboratories--convened by Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary--is entering the "semifinal" stage of its work, according to chairman Robert Galvin, the former head of Motorola, Inc. During this period, Galvin has said he will push the task force members to form a consensus about such issues as whether or not DOE has created an excess capacity in the national lab system. Final recommendations could involve the redirection, conversion, and/or closure of elements within the system. While every task force member has visited at least one lab (members toured LBL on June 15), more individual visits may be scheduled. DOE welcomes public comments, which should be sent to the Department by October 31 in order to be considered by the task force. Direct comments to Michele Donovan, Galvin Task Force, Room 7B-198, Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20585.
AMTEX ANNOUNCES NEW PROJECT:
AMTEX, the American Textile Partnership that includes LBL, has announced its third project--a five-year, $40 million effort to develop technologies for minimizing wastes generated during the manufacturing of fabrics. Called the Textile Resource Conservation project, this latest AMTEX effort is aimed at developing and deploying technologies to reduce process wastes and associated costs while recovering and reusing raw materials not fully used in manufacturing, such as dyes, finishing chemicals, and solid wastes. Laboratories participating in this project will include LBL, LLNL, Brookhaven, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Sandia, plus the Idaho National Engineering Lab, Pacific Northwest Laboratories, and DOE's Savannah River Site.

Since February, 16,000 hosts from 56 different countries have connected to the Lab's virtual frog dissection system, an interactive project created by the Imaging and Distributed Computing Group.
The Lab's cyber-amphibian was generated with a tomograph, which took pictures of 150 "slices" of the animal from head to foot. The slice images were used to create the three-dimensional representations seen during the dissection. On-line anatomists can view the frog, with or without skin, from any angle they choose. They can also look its different organs separately.
Amateur surgeons can find the Whole Frog Dissection Kit on the World-Wide Web at http://george.lbl.gov/ITG.hm.pg.docs/dissect/dissect.html
