History section

I am going to try writing a history section for this article. Milton Beychok 17:19, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I added a new section about funding, some wiki links, some references and some minor copy edits. I still plan to write a History section in the near future. Milton Beychok 04:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Finally got around to writing a History section. Milton Beychok 03:39, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Changes?

News story US revamps science, technology standard-setting efforts. Sandy Harris 06:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps there are indeed some changes needed in this article. I will look into it when I get some time. Thanks.Milton Beychok 15:57, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
