Hi, David—
Thank you for sharing this. Generally, we start to consider
sponsoring legislation we learn about late Fall before session starts.
I’ll be sure to keep this LC on file and discuss it will Alissa. Should
you have any questions in the future, please let me know. Again, thank
you for sharing this.
Warm regards,
Roberto A. Gutierrez

LC0044_DRAFT_2015_Regular_Session.pdf
Dear Representative Alissa Keny-Guyer. I urge you to support LC 44
(attached) for several reasons, including the following: There are very
strong economic and scientific reasons for Oregon to adopt the
International System of Units (SI). The cost of not using the SI is
increasing with the trend toward globalization. Failing to adopt the SI
could result in the United States losing its competitive edge in science
and technology and in continuing to create bilateral trade impediments
with other countries. The cost of adopting the SI would be quickly
recovered by the economic benefits of global interoperability; and this
is particularly important as the dominance of United States companies is
being challenged in the competitive atmosphere of globalization.
Adopting the SI would likely result in the creation of many jobs and
better prepare the current and future workforce of the United States to
work in the international marketplace. Hawaii has similar legislation
pending (HB36). Oregon pioneered the Bottle Bill and now several states
benefit from that effort; so please consider supporting LC 44 so that
Oregon will continue to lead the way with good ideas for our great
nation. David Pearl www.MetricPioneer.com[1] 503-428-4917
