Conductor development with high-Tc superconductors in the USA is reviewed. This article includes the level of funding toward this R and D as well as the sources of the funds. The institutions, who are heavily involved for this work, are also identified. Then, the highlights of recent development, as of January 1999, in each of the high-Tc superconducting materials are given with some of my private assessments of various aspects of the conductor fabrication processes.
