Dear
Friends:
March
16, 2001
North
Carolina proudly salutes the National Institute of Standards and
Technology on its One Hundredth Anniversary.
Since
1901, the states have welcomed NIST as a partner in building the
economic strength and well being of America. Across this 100-year
span, NIST has made major contributions to the Nation's technological
progress and has been a reliable source of assistance to industry,
science and government.
Now
that NIST is on the threshold of its second century, North Carolina
looks forward to a continued partnership with NIST to build an
advanced science and technology infrastructure the foundations
needed to ensure future progress and prosperity for U.S. industry,
North Carolina and the Nation.
With
kindest regards, I remain
MFE:sjs
Very
truly yours,
0004
