I appreciate hearing from you. In 1975, President Ford signed the Metric Conversion Act (Public Law 94-168) to designate the International System of Units, commonly known as the “metric system,” as the preferred system in the U.S. However, this law did not mandate the use of the metric system, so the United States is currently one of only three countries that has not adopted the metric system as its official system of weights and measures. To date, legislation has not been introduced in the Senate to designate the metric system as our country’s official system. Please know that I will keep your thoughts in mind should relevant legislation come before me for a vote. Once again, thank you for writing.
