Hi Eugene and all: I can understand you noticing the lack of mention of the need to complete transition to SI metric. In "Testimony on the Role of Manufacturing" the issue is ran around. " US has lost production …advanced technology…formally dominate". "Other countries…investing billions of dollars in "transition technology" e.g. "metrication" of resistors, capacitors, etc, not spoken! All the focus is at University level and STEM subjects while ingoring primary grades before High School and overloading students learning USC and SI units with many conversions. I think asking the Federal Government to throw money at hubs while ingoring basic strategy is wasteful.
