在回应第99届国会的一项指控时，该指控称，美国各大学和联邦研究机构的研究计算机，包括超级计算机的通信网络的关键问题以及当前和未来的选择，联邦科学、工程和技术协调委员会将召集来自大学、工业和联邦研究中心的通信和超级计算机专家的研讨会/会议。圣地亚哥超级计算机中心(SDSC)已同意于2月16日至20日主办这次规划研讨会/会议，SDSC将计划会议的后勤工作，并协助准备预先材料，并提供位于加州大学圣地亚哥分校附近总部的超级计算机中心和通信运营中心的“现场”概览。根据第132号通知4.c.(3)(B)，这项关于规划会议的建议不受同行审查。基于上述情况，DNCRI建议向GA Technologies提供13,688美元的赠款，用于主办一次规划会议/讲习班，以研究当前和未来有关计算机网络进步的备选方案。

Responding to a charge of the 99th Congress for "a study of critical problems and current and future options regarding communications networks for research computers, including supercomputers, at universities and Federal research facilities in the United States," the Federal Coordinating Council for Science Engineering and Technology will convene a workshop/conference of communications and supercomputer experts from universities, industry, and Federal research centers. The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) has agreed to host this planning workshop/conference on February 16 - 20, SDSC will plan the logistics of the meeting and assist in the preparation of advance materials and provide an "on site" overview of a supercomputer center and a communication operation center at their headquarters near the University of California, San Diego. This proposal for a planning conference is exempt from peer review under Circular No. 132 4.c.(3)(b). Based on the foregoing, DNCRI recommends that a grant be made to the GA Technologies for $13,688 to host a Planning Conference/Workshop for the study of current and future options regarding advances in computer networks.
