Also Bill, you notice a lot of the other "hits" there are metric too, such as national park highway construction and US naval facility upgrade. This is just Commerce Business Daily, the daily notice of federal purchasing, provided by Loren Data Corp. I did a keyword search "metric" for March 2004.

Thanks for the good news, Nat! (Too bad that it specifies that documents must be submitted on 8 1/2 x 11" pages, but that;s minor compared to the metrication of the building itself.)
