U.S. Dips Toes In Metric System Debate In Congress
The House approved a bill 296 to 42 to authorize a Commerce Department study on the desirability and practicality of greater metric use in the United States. The plan lacks funding but authorizes action if money is found, with the Senate already having a similar measure. The study could take three years and cost about $500,000.
