\abstract{
In 1991 the Astrophysics Division of NASA's Office of Space Science convened
the Space Interferometry Science Working Group to consider in more detail the
science goals of a space interferometer mission to do wide-angle astrometry at
optical wavelengths.  In addition, the working group considered the merits of
alternative mission concepts for achieving those goals.  We describe the
current state of the adopted mission concept, and review the candidate
astrometric science program.  In addition to the main goal of precision
astrometry, the concept interferometer has a limited capability for high-
resolution imaging using rotational aperture synthesis.  A Phase A start on
this mission has been made in 1996, and launch is planned for 2003.}
