Madam Elizabeth/Paul, sir:May I intervene and support views in this letter that it shall be more harmful than *any inherent gain, if felt* that State of Arizona would be leading rest of America in US commitment for adoption of "preferred system of measurement" and to fall in line with rest of the world that 200-years of 'stand down' has ONLY added to costs, in accepting Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites (SI). Perhaps today's leadership in Metrication shall be gainfully used to get the upper hand for United States in "resolving the Calendar Question" for ever - Metrication/Decimalisation of Time of the HOUR in relation to Arc-Angle, using simplistic calendar: Mere shifting of July 31st to February 29th and devise Leap Weeks by mere 'Divide six(6) Plan' and get the best of Mean Year value, replacing Leap Days on *div.4/skip100/accept400* plan to more appropriate *div.4/skip128* that give: MY=(365+31/128) =365.2421875 days. I think it now has come to differentiate between *Science, religion & Myth*: where we stand!Brij Bhushan Vij (MJD 2454986)/1361+D-163W23-01 (G.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Subject: [USMA:45176] USMA letter to AZ Governor Brewer Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 20:46:23 -0500 The Honorable Jan Brewer Governor of Arizona 1700 West Washington Phoenix, AZ 85007 Dear Governor Brewer, Thank you for reaching the decision to postpone action on replacing the signs along a section of Interstate Highway 19 that currently display units of the metric system of measurement. If you decide to maintain the metric signs permanently, such a move would be in agreement with Congress, which has the power to fix the standard of weights and measures for the Nation. In 1988, Congress passed the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act, declaring that the metric system is the "preferred system of measurement" for U.S. trade and commerce. Apparently, it is also the measurement system of choice for some I-19 Arizona merchants, who would be adversely affected in trade and commerce if they had to revise their 29-year-old marketing practices to accommodate a possible step backward from metric. Despite Congressional urgings, the U.S. remains the only major nation without a plan to change over to the simple, decimal metric system as the country's single,everyday measurement standard. This makes the State of Arizona a leader in its efforts along I-19. I urge you to continue pointing the way to a better infrastructure for America. Sincerely, Paul Trusten, R.Ph.
