<p>Chairman Wu, Ranking Member Gingrey and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to present the President’s Fiscal Year 2009 budget request for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This budget reflects NIST’s growth path under the President’s American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI) and under the America COMPETES Act (PL110-69) that this committee passed last year. The levels reflected in this budget will further enhance NIST’s ability to provide the Nation’s critical measurement and standards needs.</p><p>NIST will meet this challenge by relying on partnerships with industry and academia to plan and carry out research and provide services. These partnerships also allow NIST to stay abreast of current high priority needs and to anticipate emerging needs. More than 1,800 guest researchers work with nearly 3,000 NIST staff members in NIST laboratories and facilities on several campuses to provide the nation with the most advanced measurement and standards research and services.</p><p>The FY 2009 request of $638M includes $634M for NIST’s core programs (encompassing NIST’s research and facilities) and $4M for the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership. The budget for the NIST core represents a 22 percent increase (excluding congressionally directed grants) over the FY 2008 appropriations for these programs. The President’s request focuses on high-impact research that will address critical national needs, spur economic growth and accomplish NIST’s mission to advance innovation and industrial competitiveness.</p><h3>Supporting Innovation and the Economy</h3><p>The well-being of U.S. citizens is affected every day by NIST’s measurement and standards work. Virtually every segment of the economy—transportation, computers, banking, food processing, health care and communication—depends on NIST research, products and services. More broadly, the quality of the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the food we eat depends in part on that work. NIST standards—which are not regulatory—ensure that consumers are confident of the quantity and quality of the product purchased whether it is a gallon of gasoline or the amount of electricity used and stated in the monthly bill. They protect our banking at ATMs and our online purchases. Soon, these standards will help to protect the privacy of our health records.</p><p>They improve the accuracy of our medical tests and treatments and help to make sure that we know the nutritional content of what we are eating. They help to convict criminals and free the innocent through more accurate and faster DNA tests. They provide crucial timekeeping that we depend upon for navigation, telecommunications, financial transactions, and basic research. And they improve the readiness of our first responders and our homeland security. The measurement and standards infrastructure provided NIST paves the way for U.S. innovation and economic competitiveness. In many instances, NIST work in measurement science is the critical path to discovery and innovations.</p><p>While companies strive to make their latest products and services as easy to use and as simple for consumers as possible, the underlying knowledge and technology base that makes this possible is certainly not simple. Consider the web of fiber optic networks that makes broadband communication—from long distance telephone, to cable television, to high-speed internet—possible. The system includes dozens of independent networks, tens of thousands of connections and millions of miles of optical fibers, each fiber capable of carrying hundreds of separate signals simultaneously. Yet, despite its already mind boggling complexity, this fiber optic system that our economy depends on may soon suffer with the same kind of traffic congestion currently clogging highways around many major metropolitan areas.</p><p>To prevent this, communications manufacturers and service companies need faster, more accurate ways to measure the quality of optical signal
