I am not very optimistic it will ever be presented to Congress for a vote. And even if the last two States agree to the UPLR, it will be little used until the FPLA is amended. --- On Fri, 8/14/09, ezra.steinb...@comcast.net <ezra.steinb...@comcast.net> wrote: > From: ezra.steinb...@comcast.net <ezra.steinb...@comcast.net> > Subject: [USMA:45645] Converting the USA to metric > To: "U.S. Metric Association" <usma@colostate.edu> > Cc: "U.S. Metric Association" <usma@colostate.edu> > Date: Friday, August 14, 2009, 8:20 PM > > Once we have the amended FPLA and the last two states > approving the provisions of the UPLR for metric-only > labeling, I predict we'll see a flood of products switch > over to metric only.
