John Holdren
Assistant to the President for Science and Technology
Mark – your BMI works out to 33.7, which is VERY high! I am 1.71 m (down from
1.76 m 40 years ago) and 65 kg, for a BMI of 22.2, which I believe is in the
sort of range a BMI should be.

Thank you for your comment. I do not want to start an argument, but, when it
comes to electricity the variant kWh is in use and more practical. It is like
if you use gram, mL, or hour when it is convenient even if it is not the main
SI unit.

: Comments to FTC from the NCWM NIST
JOHN,
IT IS TRUE that the current FPLA *REQUIRES* duality; declarations of net
amounts in SI UNITS and equivalent declarations in units from outside the SI,
either displayed in first place.
However, there is no requirement in the FPLA that enforcement
labeling will be approved without much fuss or bother. At that
point the discretionary enforcement will end and no one will notice any
difference. ;-)

I read Selective Enforcement to mean using *only the declarations in metric

I call foul. The snipe about our president is contrary to fact and, more
significantly here, off topic.

with purely SI units,
especially that manufacturers post their unit in Nm rather than foot-pound.
You have a responsibility to educate.

So it's a department of Congress? Which one?
