Christopher B. Guay has been advocating SI in the NCWM and in P&G for many years. I have had the pleasure of discussing SI with him at several of the NCWM annual meetings. I believe Chris is the *prime* leader of metric labeling within P&G. His title is listed in the NCWM Directory of 1999 as "Principal Reg Affairs" P&G Co. at "5299 Spring Grove Av Ivry Dale Tech, Cincinnati, OH 45217" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Chris, is your NCWM listing of 1999 still current? Many subscribers to the US Metric Association listserver are pleased with the leadership of P&G in the advancement of product labeling is SI units, and might want to convey their appreciation directly to you. Mike, Jim McCracken of the NIST Division of W&M or Jim Frysinger or Chris himself can better answer your question on Chris' participation in the NIST meeting of Nov 7 on amending the FPLA to permit metric-only product labeling. Although I was not there, I certainly support the amendment, and hope that only SI units will be legal for trade by 2010. Gene Mechtly.
