From page 98...
... Given these scientific successes and potential applications and societal benefits, it is a serious deficiency that no federal agency has taken on the mandate to support x-ray laser research. Advances in this area are hampered by the presence of large capital-intensive synchrotron and inertial confinement fusion facilities that historically have either siphoned off the majority of potential funding support or programmatically relegated the research to a piggyback status.
