During the 1990's, we focused our Accelerator Physics program on research and development of TeV polarized proton beams using Siberian snakes (a Siberian snake is a device which forces an accelerator ring's depolarizing fields to cancel themselves by rotating each proton's spin by 180{degree} on each turn around the ring): (1) Siberian snake experiments at the IUCF Cooler ring; (2) Design of polarized beam capability for the SSC; (3) Design of polarized beam capability for the Main Injector and Tevatron (funded by Fermilab); and (4) Design of polarized beam capability for HERA (funded by DESY). During FY 1994 to 1997, our Siberian snake experiments at IUCF continued to be unexpectedly successful. Their data have helped us to design polarized proton beam capability for Fermilab's Tevatron and Main Injector and now for DESY'S HERA
