SUBJECT: Senate Bill 166
Dear Senator Chuck Thomsen. As Education SubCommittee Member, please
consider the importance of this statewide legislation because your
decisions today have a tremendous affect on many future generations in
Oregon. I urge you to support SB 166 for several reasons, including the
following: There are very strong economic and scientific reasons for
Oregon to adopt the International System of Units (SI). The cost of not
using the SI is increasing with the trend toward globalization. Failing
to adopt the SI could result in the United States losing its competitive
edge in science and technology and in continuing to create bilateral
trade impediments with other countries. The cost of adopting the SI
would be quickly recovered by the economic benefits of global
interoperability; and this is particularly important as the dominance of
United States companies is being challenged in the competitive
atmosphere of globalization. Adopting the SI would likely result in the
creation of many jobs and better prepare the current and future
workforce of the United States to work in the international marketplace.
Hawaii has similar legislation pending (HB36). Oregon pioneered the
Bottle Bill and now several states benefit from that effort; so please
consider supporting SB 166 so that Oregon will continue to lead the way
with good ideas for our great nation. Please contact me about this
important statewide legislation for Oregon. David Pearl
