Gene, I read Mr. Rosodo's bio with the same reaction, but we can't jump on
him just yet. I believe that the whole point of pushing for unanimity on
UPLR is to lay the unimpeachable groundwork for the FPLA. Once all
jurisdictions have adopted the UPLR metric-only amendment, THEN we can fight
for the FPLA amendment on all fronts. I agree that Rosodo's background is
good news for us and suggests that a change in attitude is at hand at FMI,
but let's get those last two states first.

Paul,
Given all of Rosodo's experience in the USDA with international trade of
agriculture products, this is a great opportunity to persuade the FMI to
support rather than oppose metric-only labeling of food products! Let's
do it!
Gene.
