Hi Kyle. Thanks for asking which legislator requested this draft. I initially brought this legislative concept to my government representative Kevin Cameron, who got LC 44 started, then as you may know, Representative Denyc Boles temporarily fills that position until election time, when Jodi Hack is likely to be elected to represent District 19. I did have a meeting with Representative Denyc Boles Tuesday 5 Aug 2014 along with Science Teacher Greg Whatley to discuss the next steps for LC 44. Our governor is a doctor, and as you may know, the medical profession all over the world, even in the United States, uses SI because SI is much more accurate for measuring medication, so anyone familiar with the field of medicine would be more likely to appreciate the significance of this legislation. I am so happy that Rep. Gomberg would like to be able to follow up on this important legislation. Thank you so much for responding to my email message. I have so much more to say, but I do not want to overload you all at once.

Rep. Gomberg would like to be able to follow up. Warm regards, Kyle Kyle Linhares Chief of Staff to Rep. David Gomberg Oregon House District 10 900 Court St NE, H-371 Salem, OR 97301 541-921-2038 FROM: cont...@metricpioneer.com [mailto:cont...@metricpioneer.com] SENT: Saturday, August 09, 2014 1:37 PM TO: Rep Gomberg SUBJECT: Representative Gomberg Support for LC0044_DRAFT_2015_Regular_Session.pdf Dear Representative David Gomberg. 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.
