"On November 6, 2003, the NIST Laws and Metric Group will host a second
forum at the Department of Commerce headquarters in Washington, D.C. The
purpose of the forum is to bring together a coalition of manufacturers,
packagers, exporters and importers, retailers and other interested parties
to support a proposed amendment to the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act
(FPLA) to allow permissible metric-only labeling. 

Some of the key agenda items for discussion are developing a strategy for
introducing the proposed FPLA amendment change to Congress, .Identifying
industry spokespeople to represent the coalition, and identifying and
addressing opposition to the amendment in industry."
