Excerpt from Report of the 54th National Conference on Weights and Measures, 1969 This Administration, under President Nixon, is dedicated to enlist ing the talents and energies of private industry in building America. No one wants to emphasize that more than I, and no one in the govern ment has a greater responsibility than I to see that private industry is drawn in to our deliberations and to our conclusions and in turn, that private industry is asked to play a responsible part in the development of the American economy. In our economic philosophy, and in our working economy, it is inescapable that our first resource for meeting these needs is the great industrial establishment which our free enter prise system has built. It is the ablest and most versatile instrument the world has ever seen. Every endeavor we launch, whether it is meeting the crisis in our cities, exploring space, or clearing up our environment, will depend for its success on the resources and the abilities of private industry. Government will take a part, but government alone can't accomplish all these tasks. Some of the technology, the manpower, the capital, the means, and the resources will have to be that which the private sector has accumulated through all the years. These resources of our private industry, economic resources and human resources, are really beyond comprehension. Our mam aim in government is to draw industry into creative partnership with all levels of government and, in this way, we can deal cooperatively with the problems we face today. With that kind of a partnership, we will be able to meet the challenges of the last half of the century from a position of real strength, and we will be able to meet the reasonable demands of the people for a better way of life.
