Well, it was supposed to have been 2010, not 2011, and I didn't want to get into the EU thing in my response, because I wanted to concentrate on the U.S. position. I added that I have not heard any Obama representative say anything about metric. If I did, I would certainly quote the exact reference and context. ----- Original Message ----- From: Victor Jockin To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: 04 January, 2009 12:35 Subject: [USMA:42239] Re: Sean Hannity metric discussion thread
The comments by "Safiel" in the Hannity forum are interesting, but I'm not sure about some of his facts. Didn't the EU drop the 2011 metric-only labeling requirement some time back? He also says that there are "many metric enthusiasts in the Obama administration, including Obama himself". Does anyone know of any statements by Obama on this subject? Or by any of his appointees?
