Bible Question (short): Why did the NASB change JEHOVAH to Lord?

Question (full): Why did the New American Standard Translation change Jehovah (Strong's number 3068)to Lord which has the same Strong's number? A Jehovah's Witness came to my door and later showed me her copy of the Revised Standard version in which case the Strong's number 3068 was always rendered Jehovah in English. She then showed me in my copy of the New American Standard Version where the Lockman foundation chaged Jehovah to Lord more than 6,000 times. She then stated, "The odacity of them to render God's Holy name as a title!" I could not answer her because I do not know why the Lockman Foundation chose to do that. Secondly, is it really the big deal she is making it out to be? I promised her I would come to the Lockman's web site or try to contact them to get an answer. Can anyone help me or direct me to the place where this question has already been answered? Thanks in advance to anyone who spends time to help me. May God Bless you.
