Colleagues --

Today we are releasing the 2011 Department of Energy Strategic Plan 
<http://energy.gov/media/DOE_StrategicPlan.pdf>, which outlines the 
broad, cross-cutting and collaborative goals that stretch across our 
complex. It is to serve as a blueprint for DOE to help address the 
nation's energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through 
transformative science and technology solutions.

The Department's missions and programs are designed to bring the best 
minds and capabilities to bear on important problems. It draws on the 
diverse talents of our federal workforce, scientists and engineers from 
national laboratories, academia, and the private sector in 
multidisciplinary teams, striving to find solutions to the most complex 
and pressing challenges.

The DOE Strategic Plan <http://energy.gov/media/DOE_StrategicPlan.pdf> 
is organized into four distinct categories, including:

·Catalyzing the timely, material, and efficient transformation of the 
nation's energy system and securing U.S. leadership in clean energy 
technologies

·Maintaining a vibrant U.S. effort in science and engineering as a 
cornerstone of our economic prosperity with clear leadership in 
strategic areas

·Enhancing nuclear security through defense, nonproliferation, and 
environmental efforts

·Establishing an operational and adaptable framework that combines the 
best wisdom of all Department stakeholders to maximize mission success

I encourage you to take some time to review the plan. I'd also ask you 
to tune in today, at 1 p.m. EST, to a webcast 
(www.ustream.tv/channel/department-of-energy-doe 
<http://www.ustream.tv/channel/department-of-energy-doe>) where I will 
be discussing the new Strategic Plan, the outlook for the Department and 
the leading role it will play in helping our nation create a new clean 
energy economy. Employees at the Forrestal and Germantown facilities can 
also view the discussion on channel 3 or 97 of their televisions, while 
other facilities will have the option of accessing a satellite feed or 
making alternate arrangements. I plan to take questions from DOE 
employees. If you would like to submit a question for consideration, 
please email it to StrategicPlan at hq.doe.gov.

  Thank you for your hard work and continued service.

Steven Chu
