Fer and Bedard. A scientist with the National Security Agency said that while the technology prom ise some major changes i electronics communications computers and other areas the nation currently lacks expertise in making prod Cli such As superconducting integrated circuits for electronic devices. Whitfi you re in a Marall Ioil you re not going 10 Gela Laurel Wreath at the one mile Mark Bedard said the payoffs will be substantial but they Are not going to be right around the or. Craig Davis a physicist with the Ford motor co., said recent superconductor advances have caused hit an Quay to re examine past work on dec Troina Neo Hectric can Tod train levitation.

President Reagan in an opening speech before More than 1,000 attendees urged Industrial and scientific inter ests to move As quickly As possible to develop Commer Cial products from Aav Ancet in superconductivity re search. The Reagan administration has Given priority . Exploitation of the new technology ahead of euro pain and japanese economic rivals. The president s appearance at the conference accompanied by Secre tary of slate George Shultz defense Sec Clary Caspar Weinberger and Energy Secretary John Herrington underscored the importance attached by the administration to Taid the administration is proposing More Money for Basic research on superconductivity. Feder Al Agenda currently Are spending about $30 million annually on superconductor president also said he will propose to Congress several legislative changes covering antitrust Law patents and Protection of company secrets to help Ameri can companies compete with foreign said he is designating the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago As the National Center for super conductivity applications. Argonne spokesman Harry Conner said later that the designation could bring the facility up to $ 10 million a year in new research Money Conner said so scientists at Argonne already reworking on superconductor applications. There is a hone race right now around the world he said materials must be chilled before becoming super conductors and until recently they had to be made colder than 400 degrees below Zero fahrenheit. This required urine expensive and hard to handle coolant such As liquid helium. But scientists worldwide Bave begun reporting super conductivity in a new class of rna Peruli at much warmer temperatures allowing Cooling with much cheaper King crams such As liquid nitrogen.
