GOVERNOR
STATE OF OHIO
FROM THE OFFICE
OF
GOVERNOR BOB TAFT
MARCH 2001
I am proud to
extend my greetings and congratulations to the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) as you celebrate your 100th Anniversary
in the year 2001.
The NIST was
established in 1901 as the National Bureau of Standards to help
guide our nation's commerce efforts, create standard marketing and
business practices to protect American consumers, and support our
scientific and technological endeavors. Since that time the Institute
has evolved to meet the changing needs of the world's economy. The
NIST works in conjunction with states and businesses to maintain
national commercial standards and to meet modem technological challenges.
Through the years, the NIST has successfully partnered with the
State of Ohio and many Ohio-based businesses and organizations and
has made many positive contributions to our state. I commend the
NIST for your work.
On behalf of
all Ohioans, best wishes on your Centennial Anniversary and for
continued future success!
Sincerely,
Bob Taft
