Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the 66th National Conference on Weights and Measures, 1981: Sponsored by the National Bureau of Standards, Attended by Officials From the Various States, Counties, and Cities, and Representatives From the U. S. Government, Industry, and Consumer Organizations; St. Louis, Mo., July 13-17, 1981 It is very important that this conference continue to grow in its ability to address the issues facing weights and measures. Recent changes, like the voting system, have been successful. The Executive Committee is proposing organizational changes for consideration this week. I have written a paper (included in the Announcement Booklet) suggesting other possible organizational and procedural changes. I hope you will have opportunities to consider them and provide your views to the Conference leadership. The primary purpose of the Conference is to develop and promote the use of model laws and regulations and to provide a national forum for discussion and solution of common problems. In sponsoring this Conference, nbs is furthering the goal of Nationwide uniformity in a system that, without strong central technical support and leadership, would be very nonuniform. I am not going to say anything about International coordination. Resources available to Government officials limit participation. Per haps this Conference should address the relative importance of this activity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
