Greetings from
the Governor
March 2001
As Governor
of the state of Washington, I am delighted to extend my warm greetings
to all of you who gathered to commemorate the National Institute
of Standards and Technology's Centennial celebration.
I commend your
organization's century long commitment to bring order and fairness
to our nation's workplaces and businesses. The NIST has been a partner
with states in developing national standards of commerce and in
helping businesses across our nation meet technological challenges.
As we enter
the 21st Century, it is important to remember the vital role that
the NIST played at the turn of our century in helping to guide the
emergence of the industrial revolution. I have no doubt that the
NIST will continue to play an important role in the information
age, by continuing to set standards that will allow our consumers
and businesses to prosper and flourish.
Congratulations
on a century of achievement!
Sincerely,
Gary Locke
Governor
