    Employees briefed on new `prime contract'

    Argonne's new "prime contract" reflects a national shift toward performance-based business practices, Argonne Director Alan Schriesheim told employees at a June 19 "Argonne Topics" seminar.

    "The world is changing," Schriesheim said. "In this era of budget limitations ... most business is working on a performance basis, rather than a procedural basis."

    The new contract, which governs how the University of Chicago operates the laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy, was the topic of a special two-session "Argonne Topics" seminar on June 19. Helping Schriesheim outline the contract's features were Art Sussman, University of Chicago vice-president for Argonne, and Henry S. Webber, the University's associate vice president for administration.

    DOE expects management improvements under the new contract to save more than $77 million through September 30, 1999, during which the lab's operating budget will total some $2.2 billion.

    For the first time, the agreement includes a performance fee based on the quality of Argonne's research and operations management. Meeting these goals will raise the university's management fee, 20 percent of which will go into a special fund to support joint research between Argonne and the university.

    Performance will be measured by DOE's annual summary appraisal of the laboratory. In the latest appraisal, for fiscal year 1994, the laboratory's overall rating was "excellent" for both science and technology programs and operations management.

    The contract also calls for less "micro-management" by DOE.

    In exchange for the performance fee and the reduction in oversight, the university and Argonne are required to undertake a pilot cost-reduction program, Webber said. The contract calls for Argonne to reduce spending growth in compensation and benefits by one percent a year for each of the next five years. If the laboratory meets this goal, it will receive a "salary bonus" to be distributed to employees. The total bonus pool bonus could equal as much as one percent of the total payroll, depending on the lab's performance ratings.

    Several questions from the audience centered on the contract's requirement that Argonne examine all non-scientific activities with an eye toward "outsourcing," or having work done by commercial contractors.

    "No decisions have been made about outsourcing," Sussman said. "What the university has is the flexibility to look at options. It is no comment on anyone's work."

    Fawell: DOE's demise won't be end of lab

    As the federal budget debate continues to churn through Congress, so does speculation on the fate of the Department of Energy, its programs and, of course, national laboratories such as Argonne.

    During a recent phone interview, Congressman Harris Fawell (R-13th Dist.) talked about Argonne's future in light of budget and legislative proposals that call for dismantling DOE.

    "What really is important, of course, is what about the programs?" Fawell said. "If one were to eliminate DOE, what you would have is the various programs spread out among other departments."

    Proposed legislation unveiled earlier this month by House Republicans would move parts of DOE to the Defense and Interior departments, while other parts would be sold. DOE's Cabinet status would be taken away within six months, and the department would be abolished in three years.

    But until Congress hammers out a final proposal to send to the White House, all scenarios remain speculation. "It's a way down the road yet as to what's ultimately going to happen," Fawell said.

    He is confident of one thing, however: "DOE may come and go, but Argonne and Fermilab will go on. Both labs are well respected here in Washington."

    Fawell also cited the advantage of Argonne's ties to and long history with the University of Chicago, since "it is a world-renowned higher-education institution." He pointed out that long before DOE came into existence, the University of Chicago managed Argonne for the Atomic Energy Commission.

    DOE was created in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter in response to the energy crisis of the 1970s -- which saw oil prices skyrocket and gasoline supplies shrink -- and has been controversial ever since.

    Two previous attempts to eliminate the department during President Ronald Reagan's administration failed when the Congressional Budget Office concluded Reagan's plan would not save money.

    Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary has said that closing the doors at DOE would result in only marginal savings since two-thirds of the department's $17.5 billion budget goes toward managing the nation's nuclear stockpile and clean-up programs, which cannot be abandoned.

    Raffle to benefit combined appeal

    Tickets for the Argonne Combined Appeal's annual raffle will be sold in the Argonne-East Building 213 cafeteria June 26 through July 7, from 11:15 am. to 1:15 p.m.

    Tickets are five for $1 or 25 cents each. Many prizes are to be raffled, ranging from a case of motor oil to a weekend for two at the Lisle Naperville Hilton.

    The raffle will be held at Argonne-East's employee picnic, Saturday, July 8, in Argonne Park. Winners do not need to be present to win.

    Bike commuters save gas, get exercise

    For years, employees have been meandering thoroughfares, back roads and trails as they bicycle to Argonne-East, bringing exercise and an occasional adventure to the daily commute.

    David W. Reilly (ESH), a senior health physics technician, said he started bicycling 15 years ago but that "his adventure has now become a routine."

    "I take a twisty route that is mostly residential, with low traffic," Reilly said. This route takes him and his 15-speed touring bike from his home in Western Springs through Hinsdale, where he turns onto Clarendon Hills Road just south of 75th Street. Then it's on to South Frontage Road and through the main gate.

    The weather doesn't bother Reilly, who had vivid memories of his close encounters. "Once during a heavy rain, a motorist didn't see me until the moment of truth. I was either going over him or under him," Reilly said. Fortunately, Reilly avoided an accident.

    However, Stanley T. Ockers (MSD), a scientific associate, hasn't been as fortunate. "I have fallen off my mountain bike twice, once after hitting some gravel and once while trying to maneuver around a dog," Ockers said. Ockers broke a hip and a collarbone in these accidents, but the dog escaped injury.

    Ockers has been bicycling for six years from his Lockport home, except on extremely rainy, snowy or icy days. His route takes him up High Road to 127th Street, then onto Lemont Road through Bluff Road. Ockers' final trek is through the Waterfall Glen and into Westgate Road.

    Paul A. Eident (CHM), a financial manager in the Chemistry Division, has been bicycling for about five years. "It keeps my weight down and gives me more energy throughout the day," he said.

    Eident's route from his Hinsdale home finds him coasting down Clarendon Hills Road onto Bentley Road and then down Frontage Road and through the main gate. He rides once or twice weekly and said his equipment includes a 12-speed touring bike, helmet, cycling pants and shoes.

    "A helmet is tremendous insurance, and I never get on my bike without it, even for short rides," Eident said. "And there is padding in the seat of the pants, right where your butt hits the road."

    Eident said that he and Reilly often run into one another--figuratively, not literally--while riding. Eident recalled one occasion when he and Reilly were waiting for the traffic light to change and Reilly fell over on his bike. "While composing himself, Dave [Reilly] looked up sheepishly and said, 'It must have been a gust of gravity,'" Eident said.

    But the men are not the only ones having fun on bicycles. Mara C. Krinke (ES) is an analyst who rides a mountain bike from her Lemont home.

    Krinke wears exercise clothing and a helmet as she crosses over Lemont Bridge into the Waterfall Glen and through whatever gate is closest to her route on that particular day.

    "It's nice to be outdoors and start and end the day with exercise," Krinke said. She said that she also likes saving gasoline and avoiding traffic jams.

    Krinke said that she seldom rides during the winter months because of icy roads and darkness. "In the winter, it's difficult to squeeze enough daylight hours out of the dark days to get in a full day of work," Krinke said.

    In addition to helmets, bicycle commuters use either plain backpacks or fancy "panniers," or pairs of packs or baskets that hang over the rear wheel of the bicycle. They also wear special bicycle shoes and nylon clothing to protect them against the elements.

    Former chemist Hart to be remembered

    A short memorial service for Edwin J. Hart, former senior chemist at Argonne from 1948 to 1975, will be held in Argonne's East's Building 203 Auditorium at 1:30 p.m. on June 30. Hart died May 25 in Port Angeles, Washington.

    Hart's work at Argonne involved aqueous radiation chemistry, a field with important applications in the design of nuclear reactors. He led the radiation chemistry group at the laboratory into many new avenues of research, and trained many of Argonne's scientists in the field.

    Hart received many honors for his work, including an honorary doctorate from the Technical University of Berlin in 1948, the Weiss medal from the Radiation Research Association of England in 1975, and was the senior scientist awardee of the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation of West Germany in 1979. He received citations for distinguished achievement in 1983 from Brown University and in 1984 from Washington University.

    Addiction seminar canceled

    Due to a medical emergency, the seminar scheduled for Friday, June 30, by Richard J. Ready on "Substance Abuse and Addiction" has been canceled. It will be rescheduled later this summer.

    DOE panel on nuclear facility regulation to meet

    The federal advisory committee reviewing whether Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear facilities and operations should be externally regulated will meet June 28 and 29 at the Holiday Inn Naperville.

    The Advisory Committee on External Regulation of DOE Nuclear Safety will hear from several senior DOE program officials; panels of directors of DOE's research laboratories; laboratory environment, safety, and health managers, the public and other interested parties.

    The committee is interested in views concerning the existing DOE regulatory structure, including worker, public, environmental and facility safety; its strengths and weaknesses; and suggestions for improvement. DOE currently self-regulates many aspects of safety at nuclear facilities.

    The meeting will be held in the Ballroom of the Holiday Inn Naperville, 9801 N. Naper Boulevard, Naperville, beginning at 8:30 a.m. on June 28. A public comment session on June 28 will begin at 7:30 p.m. On June 29, the meeting resumes at 8 a.m. and continues until 5 p.m.
