STAATS COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES at THE CONFERENCE ON DATA SYSTEMS LANGUAGES (CODASYL) 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION May 21, 1979 WASHINGTON, D.C. I appreciate your invitation to be here today to help celebrate your 20th anniversary. You deserve hearty congrat- ulations for reaching such an eventful milestone. This could not have happened had it not been for the important contribu- tions you have made to the data processing field. The fact that it was done through an all-volunteer effort makes it all the more significant. I know the pressures for time and competition for resources--which I see in my life--must also be felt in yours, so I can appreciate the great value of your efforts; they reflect true dedication to very worthwhile goals. Anniversaries offer an opportunity to reflect on past efforts and accomplishments, and to reevaluate and set new goals for the future. I understand that your purpose in this conference is to focus on the impact you have had on the user community you serve, and to discuss what's on the horizon. 006107 1oQ
