NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS The National Bureau of Standards' was established by an act of Congress March 3, 1901. The Bureau's overall goal is to strengthen and advance the Nation's science and technology and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Bureau conducts research and provides: (1) a basis for the Nation's physical measurement system, (2) scientific and technological services for industry and government, (3) a technical basis for equity in trade, and (4) technical services to promote public safety. The Bureau consists of the Institute for Basic Standards, the Institute for Materials Research, the Institute for Applied Technology, the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, and the Office for Information Programs. THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS provides the central basis within the United States of a complete and consistent system of physical measurement; coordinates that system with measurement systems of other nations; and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce. The Institute consists of the Office of Measurement Services, the Office of Radiation Measurement and the following Center and divisions:

THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH conducts materials research leading to
improved methods of measurement, standards, and data on the properties of well-characterized
materials needed by industry, commerce, educational institutions, and Government; provides
advisory and research services to other Government agencies; and develops, produces, and
distributes standard reference materials. The Institute consists of the Office of Standard
Reference Materials, the Office of Air and Water Measurement, and the following divisions:
Analytical Chemistry Polymers
Inorganic Materials Reactor
Radiation Physical Chemistry.

Metallurgy

THE INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY provides technical services to promote the use of available technology and to facilitate technological innovation in industry and Government; cooperates with public and private organizations leading to the development of technological standards (including mandatory safety standards), codes and methods of test; and provides technical advice and services to Government agencies upon request. The Institute consists of the following divisions and Centers:

Standards Application and Analysis Electronic Technology Center for Consumer
Product Technology: Product Systems Analysis; Product Engineering Center for Building
Technology: Structures, Materials, and Life Safety; Building Environment; Technical Evalua-
tion and Application Center for Fire Research: Fire Science; Fire Safety Engineering.

THE INSTITUTE FOR COMPUTER SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY conducts research and provides technical services designed to aid Government agencies in improving cost effectiveness in the conduct of their programs through the selection, acquisition, and effective utilization of automatic data processing equipment; and serves as the principal focus within the executive branch for the development of Federal standards for automatic data processing equipment, techniques, and computer languages. The Institute consists of the following divisions:

Computer Services
tion Technology.

Systems and Software

Computer Systems Engineering

Informa

THE OFFICE FOR INFORMATION PROGRAMS promotes optimum dissemination and
accessibility of scientific information generated within NBS and other agencies of the Federal
Government; promotes the development of the National Standard Reference Data System and
a system of information analysis centers dealing with the broader aspects of the National
Measurement System; provides appropriate services to ensure that the NBS staff has optimum
accessibility to the scientific information of the world. The Office consists of the following
organizational units:

Office of Standard Reference Data Office of Information Activities Office of Technical
Publications Library Office of International Relations Office of International
Standards.
