The XXVIIth Meeting of the PRC/U.S. Joint Committee on High Energy Physics took placeon November 17 – 18, 2006 at the Institute of High Energy Physics in Beijing, China. The U.S. delegation was led by Dr. Robin Staffin, Associate Director of the Office of Science for High Energy Physics, U.S. Department of Energy. The Chinese delegation was led by Dr. Zhang Jie, Director-General of the Bureau of Basic Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences .

　  The meeting was a full success, where cooperative activities over the past year were reviewed and discussions on the development of the PRC/U.S. collaboration were carried out. There were extended discussions on the future involvement of U.S. physicists in Chinese high energy physics programs, especially the BESIII and Daya Bay experiments. Many suggestions were put forward and agreed upon in order to facilitate the expansion from the current level of collaboration. These suggestions include communicating effectively to U.S. physicists the opportunities for doing frontier physics at BEPCII/BESIII and a series of workshops. It was pointed out that by the end of the decade both the Fermilab Tevatron and the SLAC B-Factory will have been retired, and that at that time BESIII will be one of the few sites in the world at which young scientists will be able to participate in accelerator-based high energy physics.

　  The items for PRC/U.S. Cooperation for the coming year 2006-2007 were introduced and discussed by the entire Joint Committee. "Program of Activities for PRC/U.S. Cooperation in High Energy Physics: November, 2006 to November, 2007" was agreeed upon and finally reached. It was decided that the next meeting will be held in the U.S. at Fermilab in a year’s time.
