The program proposed here is designed to support and build toward the long-term plan put forward during 1987 for the DIII-D facility. This plan has as its ultimate goal developing sufficient understanding and predictive capability to enable the demonstration of a high beta plasma with non-inductively driven toroidal current. The early stages of this plan call for the optimization of the plasma configuration for good confinement at high beta while simultaneously developing the need rf power systems for current drive, profile control, and heating
