GAO wants USDA to finish Y2K contingency plans sooner The General Accounting Office has pushed the Agriculture Department to cut its deadline for completing and testing its Year 2000 business continuity and contingency plans BY THREE MONTHS. In a recently released report, the GAO said Agriculture's December deadline to finish testing "leaves no room for delays or sufficient time for correcting, revising and retesting plans if necessary." December also falls after the beginning of the government's fiscal Year 2000, "when potential failures could have already occurred." As a result, the GAO recommended that the deadline to complete and test the plans should be Sept. 30. fcw.com What idiots!!! Why didn't someone think of this before? Even September 30 is stupid. Govt fiscal year begins next day. Go buy more food. Cheryl
