But isn't the official name of the modern metric system "International System of Units" (English translation of Le Système international d'unités )?
See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units Regards, Ezra ----- Original Message ----- From: cont...@metricpioneer.com To: "USMA" <usma@colostate.edu> Sent: Saturday, June 7, 2014 2:45:08 PM Subject: [USMA:53924] Re: YOUR LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL REQUEST - LC0044 Below please see (1) LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL message to my government representative Cameron and (2) Denyc Boles message to me and (3) my reply. Please have a look at attached pdf of LC0044_DRAFT_2015_Regular_Session and LC0044_BB_2015_Regular_Session and let me know what you think. For those of you who may not remember, I submitted leglislation to the Oregon government that is modelled on that of Hawaii HB36. I am so happy that this finally got drafted. When I got notice about foot dragging, I wrote a letter to Governor Kitzhaber; I have no idea whether my letter to governor was the cause of getting them to move forward on this. ----- Message from cont...@metricpioneer.com --------- Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2014 14:26:02 -0700 From: cont...@metricpioneer.com Subject: Re: YOUR LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL REQUEST - LC0044 To: Boles Denyc < denyc.bo...@state.or.us > The metric system became the International System in 1960, so that old terminology is out of date.
