THE GOVERNOR
GREETINGS:
It gives me
great pleasure to extend my sincere congratulations to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as you open the Hall
of State Flags in celebration of your 100th Anniversary of service
to the Commonwealth and nation.
Since its founding,
the National Institute of Standards and Technology has strived for
and maintained the very highest standards of excellence. As the
federal government's first physical science research laboratory,
your time-honored commitment to providing technical assistance to
this nation is unquestionably worthy of honor.
As Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I would like to take this opportunity
to personally thank and commend you for your dedicated efforts in
developing national standards of commerce and helping businesses
across the United States meet technological challenges.
On behalf of
all Pennsylvanians, I extend my sincere congratulations as you celebrate
this historic milestone and the opening of the Hall of State Flags.
Best wishes for many years of continued service and success.
TOM RIDGE
Governor
