Dear Ms. Brown:
March 1, 2001
On behalf of all Governors, I am pleased to send our congratulations to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the occasion of the agency's centennial observation.
Over the past 100 years, NIST has served to facilitate the nation's rise as an economic power through its support of uniform standards for goods and transactions. More recently, NIST has been a vital technology partner with states in assuring effective technology investments in research, development, and commercialization.
The Hall of Flags represents our collective resolve to maintain a strong partnership for advancing the nation's economy through productive innovation and mutual economic goals. As we enter the 2lst century and a new era of technology-based economic activity, we look forward to a continued strong cooperative partnership with NIST.
Again, our congratulations.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
