QCD with Electron Beams: TJNAF LEGS expecting to complete pion production data in 2006 MAMI HIGS
QCD with Proton Beams: RHIC-spin program congratulations to everyone on such a successful
spin run so far!
Precision Measurements: ATTA (charge radius of 6,8He) 0.7% determination of 6He radius MiniBooNe (sterile neutrino) results expected this summer PSI (muon capture) hope to collect 1010 events by end of 2006 (1%) TWIST (Michel parameters) first results yield 2X improvement of P

Summary
• FY2006 was a difficult year, but we survived thanks to the cooperation of everyone in the community.
• Conducted a review of all of the ME Lab research groups in May. This will help determine future funding decisions for these laboratory groups.
• The LEGS experimental program will be ending in FY2007.
• The FY2007 PB will allow the ME program to restore the RHIC-spin and JLAB effort to FY2005 levels.
• The PB provides a substantial increase for the RHIC-spin BNL research group.
