This Subcommittee will be co-chaired by Patrick Gallagher, Director of the NIST, and Philip Weiser, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for International, Policy and Appellate Matters, Department of Justice.” • “This interagency group will provide high-level leadership so federal agencies are strategically focused and actively engaged on critical standards-related issues.
