from the ITAA weekly epistle: y2koutlook@itaa.org Katzen Calls It Quits The Clinton Administration¡s top official for Year 2000 is moving to a new assignment in the federal government. Sally Katzen, Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has been appointed Deputy Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. She will serve as Deputy Director at the National Economic Council. Katzen has led federal efforts to manage the Y2K conversion within federal agencies. She has also served as the Administration¡s chief spokesman for addressing the issue before Congress. Katzen is expected to leave the position in the next few weeks. Although Y2K issues drew Katzen into the spotlight, the larger part of her job involved overall government oversight of regulatory affairs. "Katzen lacked the management clout to expedite the government¡s response to Year 2000," said one industry observer. "While OMB has a broken line reporting relationship on Year 2000 to agency CIOs, what it really needs is a pointy stick to make things happen. That means a direct connection to Cabinet Secretaries on this issue."
