Excerpt from Research Highlights of the National Bureau of Standards: Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1960 Recognizing the need for a national program on high-purity materials, the Bureau initiated an expanded program in this field during fiscal 1960. Thus far emphasis has been placed on the preparation of high-purity materials. Much work must be done to characterize such materials precisely and to de termine their fundamental properties.

Excerpt from 1962 Research Highlights of the National Bureau of Standards: Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1962 The central mission of the National Bureau of Standards is to make this measurement competence possible - to provide national leadership in the development and use of accurate, uniform techniques of physical measure ment. It is the Bureau's responsibility to develop and maintain the national standards upon which our measurements are based and to make these stand axds available to American science and industry through its measurement services program of calibrations, reference materials, and 1measurement assistance to other laboratories. Through an extensive program of research in the physical sciences the Bureau continually strives to meet the expanding requirements of science and industry, to provide the standards and measure ment methods that are required in new or rapidly-developing areas.

Excerpt from 1961 Research Highlights of the National Bureau of Standards: Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1961 On March 3, 1961, the National Bureau of Standards completed 60 years of service to science, industry, and commerce. Throughout this period it has been concerned with precision physical measurement, with the pro motion of reliable and uniform measurement in the United States, and with a wide variety of research activities. For measurements to have general meaning and validity, they must be based on common units and standards that are precisely and reliably known. Only then can there be effective interchange of information among scientists, realistic utilization of scientific data by engineers and technologists, orderly exchange of goods in commerce, and realization of the concept of inter changeable parts throughout industry. It is the Bureau's responsibility to develop and maintain the national standards upon which all measurements in this country are based, and to see that these standards are made available to science and industry through suitable calibration services. A second important responsibility of the Bureau is to provide reliable and precise data on the basic properties of matter and materials that are of importance to science and industry. As such data are obtained by precise measurement, the performance of this function both draws upon and at the same time increases the Bureau's background of knowledge and competence in the field of measurement. Through a broad program of research in the physical sciences, the Bureau continually strives to keep abreast of the measurement requirements of American science and technology. To insure that measurement inadequacies do not retard progress, it must anticipate tomorrow's measurement problems and lead in their solution, developing new standards and measurement techniques as new fields open up or become more active. Such a research program provides a broad basis for service to the Govern ment and the Nation in a variety of other ways. These include the develop ment of test methods for materials, cooperation in the establishment of codes and specifications, and advisory services to other Government agencies on technical problems.

Excerpt from Research Highlights of the National Bureau of Standards: Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1959 During the year, the Bureau's reports and publications totaled 1268, ex elusive of calibration and test reports. And of general administrative docu ments. Some 541 classified and unclassified reports were issued to other government agencies, while 727 papers and documents were published formally.
