Dave,

A number of short essays on "Computing Research Initiatives for the  
21st Century" have posted on the Computing Community Consortium website:

        http://www.cra.org/ccc/initiatives

They're short -- typically three pages -- and make interesting  
reading.  The goal is to contribute to the thinking of the new  
Administration.  Only the high-order bits matter -- high-order bits  
such as:

- There's an R&D component to technology fields that needs to be part  
of the Administration's science policy, not its technology policy  
(which is about things such as the R&D tax credit and broadband  
deployment).

- IT R&D is central to almost all aspects of our nation's  
competitiveness.

- DARPA's engagement with universities must be restored.

- "Computational infrastructure" must consider new modes of sensor- 
driven data-intensive eScience and eLearning, as well as more  
traditional simulation-oriented computational science.

- New networking infrastructure should be "research-enabled."

And so forth.
