The reservation you have made is fine.  You can use the following for the
announcement:

                        Challenges Ahead in B Physics

                  Jonathan L. Rosner, University of Chicago

The next generation of experiments to study the properties of particles
containing b quarks will include not only the B Factories at PEP-II and KEK,
but also upgraded versions of CESR, CDF, and D0, as well as several other
new
initiatives.  Some of the physics that these experiments can probe will be
discussed.  For decays to CP eigenstates, some features of methods to tag
the
flavor of the decaying $B$ meson will be noted, while for "self-tagging"
decays emphasis will be placed on decays to pairs of light pseudoscalar
mesons.
Key issues here include the role of electroweak penguins and rescattering
corrections in the measurement of weak phases.  Some remarks will also be
made
about decays involving one pseudoscalar and one vector meson.
