    REPORT OF THE FINANCE AND DUES COMMITTEE TO THE
    13th GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF IMU, 1998


      The Committee consisted of:

      Ronald Graham (United States of America), Chairperson
      Roberto Markarian (Uruguay)
      Kun Soo Chang (Korea)
      Andrei A. Gonchar (Russia)
      Batmanathan D. Reddy (South Africa)
      Jacob Palis, ex-officio, Secretary

      The Committee studied the financial report for the years 1994-1997 presented by the Secretary of the IMU, and examined the budget for the period 1998-2002 prepared by the Executive Committee (See Appendix 3).

      The Committee recommended to the General Assembly the acceptance of the financial report for the years 1994-1997 and the Executive Committee budget for the 1999-2002 period.

      The budget for 1999-2002 had been prepared on the basis of keeping the same dues for the different categories of IMU Members as in the term 1995-1998.

      The Committee commended several scientific organizations and agencies that have made generous contributions to the Special Development Fund during the past four years. This allowed IMU to support many more young mathematicians as well as a significant number of senior mathematicians from developing countries to participate in the ICM 98.

      Finally, the Committee expresses its thanks to the Executive Committee and in particular to the Secretary, Prof. Jacob Palis, for the preparation of the clearly written financial reports and proposed budget.
