The bends discussed in section 5.4 imply that Me future position of US mathematics is likely to depend increasingly on graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from other countries; this makes our preeminence precarious if jobs in their countries of origin become more attractive to foreign students or if changes in immigration laws close Me United States doors to non-native mathematicians. In addition, there is a dears of minority-group members in mathematics.

6.4. Support for Mathematical Research The-most important safeguard of US preeminence in mathematical research and in all the sciences is the flourishing of both private and state research universities.
