which determines the direction of its scientific programs, and oversees the Directed Research and Development Program, a competitive program for Brookhaven scien- tists in which the laboratory awards funding for highly innovative and exploratory research that fits into the mission of the laboratory. Dr. Looney is also responsible for the laboratory’s technology transfer functions, including collaborations with industry and work for others and for increasing funding from sources other than DOE. After earning a B.S. in physics from the University of Delaware, Dr. Looney went on to Pennsylvania State University, where he earned an M.S. and a Ph.D.
in physics. From 1987 to 2002, Dr. Looney held several research positions at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), eventually becoming a program analyst responsible for developing policy and program plans for NIST research. In March 2002, Dr. Looney became the assistant director of physical sciences and engineering in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, where he worked closely with other White House offices, including the Office of Management and Budget, to coordinate policy development and set budget priorities. Dr. Looney is a fellow of AVS, the American Science and Technology Society.

and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Westminster, London. From 1998 to 2003 Dr. Mitchell was the Bladstrom visiting professor (entrepreneurship) at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and director of the Wharton program in technological innovation. Between 1993 and 1997 he was appointed as U.S. assistant secretary of commerce for technology policy, where his responsibilities included the development and implementation of policies to increase the role of technology in enhancing the competitiveness and economic growth of the United States. From 1980 to 1993, he was the direc- tor of planning and forecasting for GTE (now Verizon), where he developed and operated corporate technology planning systems covering GTE’s main businesses in telecommunications, lighting, and materials. From 1968 to 1980 he worked at
General Electric as manager of research, engineering, and business development in operations and with the Corporate Research and Development Center. He is an author of or collaborator on 50 papers and studies in technology, business manage- ment, and policy and holds seven U.S. patents. Major honors include the Industrial Research Institute’s Maurice Holland award and an award from the International Association for the Management of Technology.
Peter C. Mory completed a B.A. and an M.S. in geology at Case Western Reserve University, following his decorated service in the U.S. Army, including service in Vietnam. In 1973, Mr. Mory joined the U.S. Bureau of Mines (BM), where he con- ducted fieldwork, evaluated mineral resources, and prepared reports for over 30 forest service areas in the United States. These areas were highly varied in geology and contained energy resources (coal) and metallic and nonmetallic minerals. At that time, Mr. Mory authored or coauthored 20 mineral resource publications of the U.S. Geological Survey. In 1983 he joined the BM Division of Mineral Land Assessment office in Washington, D.C. He served as bureau manager for all mineral resource studies of the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands. He coordinated the activities of over 90 mineral professionals at three field centers with a budget of over $12 million and developed technical knowledge and in-depth experience of minerals and materials, economics, engineering, geology, industry, and supply and demand for a wide range of metallic and nonmetallic materials and energy resources. In 1992 he became a senior industrial specialist as well as serving as deputy to the chief staff officer at the U.S. Bureau of Mines. At this time he served as emergency preparedness coordinator on the Bureau director’s senior advisory staff. His responsibilities there included policy in the domestic and foreign commodities industry, materials, facilities, production processes, and supply and imports of all strategic and critical materials in the Defense National Stockpile. He coordinated and was responsible for the accuracy of all commodi- ties data and information going to the Market Impact Committee and the DNS and was responsible for emergency preparedness planning and actions relating to bureau commodity supply and demand activities (a classified position). Mr. Mory participated as a strategic mineral/materials expert for the Department of the Interior in the annual global war games at the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island. When the BM closed in 1996, Mr. Mory joined the Defense National Stockpile Center as a senior industrial specialist and rose to become director of the stockpile’s Directorate of Market Research and Planning. There he was responsible for all mineral data and information from the Market Impact Committee mem- bers (U.S. Geological Survey and Department of Commerce) to the stockpile. He supervised the development of the Annual Materials Plan detailing the sales level for all materials in the stockpile, which was annually submitted to Congress, and directed research into domestic and international marketing factors such as changes
in supply/demand, production, consumption, imports/exports, prices, and stock levels and their impact on markets for stockpile materials.
