Abstract
The notion of a -generic sequence of P-points is introduced in this paper. It is proved assuming the Continuum Hypothesis that for each , any -generic sequence of P-points can be extended to an -generic sequence. This shows that the Continuum Hypothesis implies that there is a chain of P-points of length with respect to both Rudin-Keisler and Tukey reducibility. The proofs can be easily adapted to get such a chain of length under a more general hypothesis like Martin's Axiom. These results answer an old question of Andreas Blass.
