I agree that there's a lot of misinformation around, and sometimes it's
difficult to sort out what's real and what isn't. Fortunately, the US
Gov't makes this one easy to sort out.

Since NIST is and the AJPO was run by the US gov't, an official action
such as turning the testing responsibilities over to somebody else
would have to be recorded in the US federal register. Since you're
claiming it happened, please be so kind as to tell us the volume and
page number in the federal register where it's recorded -- I did a
search at:

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html

and couldn't turn anything up recording the action you allege to have
taken place.
