            Abstract : 
Several advisory groups have been established to provide suggestions and criticism to the Ada 9X Mapping Revision Team, the small design team that is revising the definition of the Ada programming language. One such group, the Language Precision Team, based its criticisms on attempts to construct formal mathematical models of the design. This paper reports on the first phase of that work
