[USMA:11479] NASA's Use of SI

[Gene Mechtly]

Jim (McCracken),

        Thanks for alerting us to the "Assessment of NASA's Use of the
Metric System, G-00-021" by NASA's Inspector General.

        I am most pleased by the statement in the IG's cover letter:

"We continue to hold that since public law requires NASA to use
metric units where economically feasible, the Agency should use metric 
units in all communications with the public."

        All of us in this USMA Forum should study the complete Assessment
and use its recommendations to promote the use of SI by the Public Affairs
Officers at the various NASA Centers.

Gene.
