On Saturday, July 19, U.S. Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska
(center) visited SLAC. Senator Stevens serves as Chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Committee and of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee
and is also President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Upon his arrival, Stevens
was given an overview of the Laboratory and our science programs by
Jonathan Dorfan (left). Following a period of wide-ranging discussion on
research opportunities and funding, Stevens visited the Klystron Gallery,
the PEP-II ring and the BABAR
experiment. At SSRL there was a demonstration on the use of computer and
robotic control of beam line instrumentation and sample manipulation, and
his visit ended with a look in three dimensions at the Anthrax lethal
factor structure. Above, Stevens views the BABAR
