Dear Friends:
On behalf of
all Virginians, I take great pleasure in offering congratulations
to you upon your 100th Anniversary. During these last one hundred
years since Congress signed the legislation chartering the National
Bureau of Standards, currently known as the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, your organization has been an invaluable
asset to the citizens of this Commonwealth and an extremely effective
resource to our great nation.
Your dedicated
and committed work has been instrumental in promoting advancements
in such areas as commerce, communications, and public safety, to
name only a few. The research and innovative leadership provided
by your very competent team of employees is commendable, and the
NIST continues to play an integral role in the advancement of national
standards. You have proven yourselves to be worthy of the highest
recognition.
I extend my
sincere best wishes as you rise to the challenges of the future,
and I look forward to the many positive contributions you will offer
Virginia and the United States of America in the years to come.
Very truly yours,
James S. Gilmore,
III
