A notice and a URL are being passed around at my work regarding
foreign travel to the U.S. Some changes are occurring beginning
October 1, 2003, that will have some impact in [our institute's]
participation in meetings and collaborations-in-real-space with
other scientists, and building/fixing/maintaining of space
instrumentation.
No easy spur-of-the-moment travel to the U.S., to be sure.

Physics Today in a recent issue has devoted several pages to this topic
(foreign researchers, postdocs and graduate students not being able to
continue / complete their work/ interact with U.S. scientists
because of U.S. travel restrictions. These restrictions have
implications for U.S. research, I believe. I'll quote some examples and
numbers from that particular article in a message later.

P.S. I wonder what is behind:
" (May 15, 2003 for Belgian passport-carrying travelers). " ??
