Conversion to a Metric System

To make United States industries more compatible and competitive with international business, including our regional partners under the proposed North American Free Trade Agreement, TCA recognizes and supports the conversion of weights and measures to the internationally accepted metric system. In recognition of the cost and problems involved in converting an entire country to this system, TCA urges the federal, state, and local governments to proceed with such conversion in the most rational and efficient method, taking into consideration and minimizing the costs and effects of such a conversion on individual companies and persons.

Adopted February 10, 1991
