- Abstract
- I welcome an opportunity to be back here. I appreciate the good efforts of Dr.Wright, Dr. Walton, and Dr. Kushner in seeing that I could get back. I think and I hope it proves that old bureaucrats don't die, don't fade away, but just come back in orbit once in a while to the place where they once shone. I want to talk about two things with you in this keynote address: The first is why these conferences are important to you, to the National Bureau of Standards, and to the nation. The second is the challenge that I believe is posed to all of us who are concerned with performance standards by the concept: Man and his Shelter.
