The Committee on Developing a Federal Materials Facilities Strategy held three information-gathering meetings during which it solicited presentations from various stakeholders, including facility operators, representatives from funding organizations, user groups, and international representatives. Two meetings of the committee were devoted solely to analysis of information and writing of the final report.
