- Abstract
- On May 11-24, 1974, a Workshop was held at the National Bureau of Standards (Gaithersburg), under the sponsorhip of AID, whose object was to give standards officials of industrializing nations insight into the standards and measurement systems in the United States and the role of the National Bureau of Standards, so that these officials might consider what parts of the U.S. system might usefully be adapted to conditions in their home countries. The report contains copies of speeches and presentations by representatives of both the U.S. and the industrializing nations, in addition to a general agenda of talks, presentations, and tours of laboratories both of NBS and of other organizations.
