There was not, and has never been, a "mandate" for the US to convert to
metric measures. The issue has often been discussed, but as a result of
popular opposition (and blatant ignorance on the part of our politicians,
the transcripts of the hearings make amusing reading), no legislation
was ever passed that I am aware of.

Anyone know enough to contradict this?
