SUBJECT: Senate Bill 166
Dear Senator Mark Hass. As a member of the Education Committee and
Senate Democratic Whip, 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
