In Simpson's book, we see on page 34 (1999 edition)

 "The slogan "Reverse Mathematics" was coined by Friedman during a
special session of the American Mathematical Society organized by
Simpson",

Does anybody know what special session that was or approximately when
people started consistently using the phrase "Reverse Mathematics"?
