Each was asked to respond to the following questions: What areas of fundamental research are most helpful to support commercial catalyst/catalysis activity in U.S. industry? Should the dispersal of federal research grants to academic researchers be based on demonstrated excellence in science or focused to support the national laboratories? What type of linkage with academia/national laboratories is most useful to, and supportable by, U.S. industry? What elements in science or technology provided the edge to your commercial business in catalyst/catalytic processes? What novel catalytic processes do you expect to be developed in the next 10 to 15 years? What will be the nature of the exploratory and basic research that leads to these developments? Is academic and industrial catalytic research in the United States well positioned to play a leadership role in creating this new technology and, if not, what needs to be done? Identify areas of catalyst science and technology in which the United State is (1) behind competitors, (2) even with competitors, and (3) ahead of competitors. Identify problems that have long-term payoff.

Catalysis Looks to the Future What areas are ''mature'' or "dead"? Has too much emphasis been placed on one area in the past? What would be the ideal mix of industrial and academic research in catalysis? What are the major unsolved problems in catalysis, and what would the solution to these problems provide in economic and technical terms? Are there new areas where catalysis could be used? A total of 30 responses to these questions was received. Those providing input are acknowledged below as corresponding contributers. CORRESPONDING CONTRIBUTORS Charles R.
