I agree, Paul. All fifty states supporting UPLR is desired first, then
amendment of the FPLA (a Federal requirement) follows in *logical* order.
However, if Rosado (Rosodo was my previous spelling error) can be persuaded
to champion metric-only labeling before all fifty states endorse UPLR; Grea
Understood. UPLR is state regulation. FPLA is Federal regulation.
All we ask now for the USA is legal *permission* (the *option*) to label all
consumer products (whether under UPLR or FPLA jurisdiction) in metric-only
units of measurement.

Advance both the UPLR and amend the FPLA whenever and wherever supporters can

Gene.
