On the two-hour ride back to the Denver Airport, we discussed the need for the mathematics community to take the lead in a process that will articulate the challenges our community faces within the changed environment, and develop a process needed to position our community so that it can thrive in the new environment. I subsequently discussed the idea of addressing this need in a workshop; I talked with Shmuel Winograd, Lou Auslander, William Browder, Mary Ellen Bock, and members of the Board on Mathematical Sciences.

In a recent meeting, mathematical sciences program directors of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Office of Naval Research, and the Army Research Office told the Board on Mathematical Sciences Executive Committee that "more and more money goes to multidisciclinarv research." and that "many attractive tonics of mathematical content are being ~ , , .' ~ ~ 'hijacked' by nonmathematicians" since mathematicians do not pay enough attention to upcoming new programs. How can the mathematical sciences community better take advantage of new funding opportunities?

Finally I come to the topic of evaluating performance. The Joint Policy Board of Mathematical Sciences published in 1994 a report titled Recognition and Reward in the Mathematical Sciences.
