Louis Greenleaf, Paul sirs:
I have been talking of National Metric Week, since my discussions with late
Dr. VB Mailkar - then Director Weights & Measures (India). I am sure Mr.
Samuel Haq and his team are following the precedence in India. Mr Sampat
Kumar, after his shifting to Directorate Standardisatio (Min of Defence) was
keem to follow up.
I deviated since I was then moved away from Delhi, while in India's defence
service.
My discussions with USMA and Calndar-L have maily remained on involving
'Tme, arAngle & reform of the Gregorian calendar' that started with my base
papers: Metric Norms for Time Standard & The Metric Second (1971-73)
building my Metric Calendar Year.
Several among my contributions may be viewed at:
http://www.the-light.com/cal/
http://www.brijvij.com/
and at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/calendar.creations/genesis.html
While I do insist, usma to take the lead, it is TIME the US industry,Council
of Teachers and Mathematics ad the Fedral Government took initiative in
'killing' indirect attempts to make the young minds devote time to
'avoidable confusions' and learn the RIGHT technical language of the
Metrics.
I see NO REASON as to why the US should avoid following Le Systeme
Internationale d'Unites practices, in every sphere starting from *lady in
kitchen, school & the young minds - in particulars*.
I may be an outsider, BUT Directors Weights & Measures of each Fedral state
of US can in their 'sphere of activity' help AMERICA GO FULLY METRIC. Need
for early realisation is expected. I mean NO disrespect to any official
during perform of his duty - be it anti-metric publicity. It is the end
result that matter.
Regards,
Brij Bhushan Vij

Subject: [USMA:37339] push for unanimous UPLR metric-only option
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2006 12:17:30 -0500
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!!!!
