   PHILIP N. BURROWS , Massachusetts Institute of Technology
   
   Philip Burrows received his B.A. degree from Oxford University in 1985 , and his D.Phil. degree in 1988. As a graduate student he worked on the TASSO experiment at the PETRA collider and resided at DESY from 1986-87. He worked at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory in 1988 and in 1989 joined the MIT group as a Research Associate , working on the SLD experiment at SLAC. He led the commissioning of the Warm Iron Calorimeter Pads subsystem , as well as the project for alignment monitoring of the upgraded vertex detector. He was appointed Research Scientist at MIT in 1991 , and since 1995 has been a Principal Research Scientist. From 1992-95 he served as Secretary of the SLAC Users' Organization Executive Committee.
   
   His research interests have focused on high-energy electron-positron collisions , especially precise tests of QCD using multijet final-states. Since 1990 he has led the SLD QCD Group , and was a convener of the Snowmass 1996 QCD Working Group. His research interests include the physics and detector design for a 500 -1500 GeV electron-positron collider ; since 1995 he has led the U.S. High Energy e+e- Collider QCD Working Group.
   
   Statement : The U.S. High Energy Physics community is experiencing difficult times. Fallout from the cancellation of the SSC continues ; funding for U.S. participation in the LHC is not fully resolved , and young people are not being attracted to the field. Though the SLAC , Fermilab , Cornell and BNL experiments provide a broad forefront program for the next decade , ever-decreasing funding for both the national laboratories and the universities is a constant worry , and the direction of the domestic program after LHC turn-on remains unclear. If it is to survive , the community urgently needs to reach consensus on its plan for the LHC era , probably involving multinational collaboration on a major forefront facility that will complement the LHC. The community then needs to convince the public that it is worth supporting , and young people that it is worth basing their careers on. The DPF is a crucial forum for realizing and promoting these goals and must work relentlessly to ensure the long-term future of High Energy Physics in the U.S..
