MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Plans & Programs Staff, OL
SUBJECT Agency Conversion to the Metric System
1. I am not in complete agreement with your
papers. First of all, I have just returned from a country which
was in the process of conversion, and it was being done in a quite
orderly way--not chaotic. People had taken it upon themselves--
prior to the time the Government actually implemented the plan--
to convert slowly and quietly. There was no problem; and, as a
matter of fact, I found it stimulating mentally.
2. As for the objective--before we go to other
Government agencies, suggest we do some in-house research, es-
pecially in Logistics to see what this means. Then suggest we
25X1A9a talk to about it because he and Julian probably can
give us quite a bit of the scoop concerning other Government
departments and agencies.
