Dear Dianyi Bai,

On behalf of all of your colleagues in TC 145 may I express our sadness at the terrible loss of life and injuries suffered by so many of your countrymen and women as a result of the disastrous earthquake in Sichuan and its neighbouring provinces. The pictures of the casualties, including all those children, have been heartrending. Our thoughts are with all those who have suffered and with those carrying out the difficult task of rescuing survivors and rebuilding the devastated areas.
With sympathy,

Barry Gray
Chairman, ISO/TC 145
