National Metric Week begins on Sunday. Please join me in writing the
directors of Weights and Measures in the following four states, asking them
to join the other 46 states in adopting the Uniform Packaging and Labeling
Regulation (UPLR) model regulation to allow optional metric-only labeling
for products not subject to federal labeling requirements.
To be able to say, one day, that all 50 states are in agreement on optional
metric-only labeling would help considerably to counter opposition to it on
the federal level. Let's give the metric system the ability to stand alone
on U.S. products!!!!
