Excerpt from The Electron Factor in Catalysis on Metals<br/><br/>We are pleased to be joining the National Science Foundation and the Energy Research and Development Administration in the Sponsorship of this workshop. As the Acting Director of the National Bureau of Standards, it is my pleasant duty to officially welcome you this morning. As some of you may know, this workshop is being held on the eve of the Bureau's 75th anniversary. The National Bureau of Standards was founded by Congressional legislation in 190l. Although that original legislation has been amended several times, three themes have persisted that reflect the scope of nbs activities. First, it is our responsibility to provide the. Nation's standards of measurement, second, we determine physical constants and properties of materials, and finally, we provide other agency support. Approximately employees work at our site here in Gaithersburg, our site in Boulder, Colorado and our radio stations in Fort Collins, Colorado and the_ Hawaiian Islands. Our activities range from maintaining the nation's primary frequency standard and determining precise atomic constants and data, to carrying out fire research and investigating some aspects of the process of catalysis. That is to say from making precise measurements on very well defined systems to attempting to unravel processes that are inherently very complex....
