I entirely agree.

Yes Jim, and NIST is not likely to push the Amendment to the FPLA until a new
Secretary of Commerce is confirmed, hopefully, one who is firmly in support of
the Amendment. The time is not yet ripe for a coordinated effort to persuade
members of Congress to sponsor the Amendment.

NIST is in the process of talking to various federal agencies and some
influential commercial interests in the U.S. When they are ready, they
will present the proposed amendment to Congress for consideration. There
is currently nothing before Congress on amending the FPLA for
congressmen to vote on now. Later there will be.
I am strongly in favor of folks writing to their congressional
representatives to express a strong desire for the U.S. to fully
metricate. But if you mention the FPLA amendment right now you will
confuse them since they likely know nothing about it.
