From CNN: PRESIDENT ORDERS NEW Y2K INFORMATION CENTER The Center will also spearhead efforts to coordinate assessments of Y2K emergencies that could affect national interests "at home and abroad," the order said ... Depending on the extent of Y2K emergencies and glitches, the center could also play a vital role in helping to coordinate nationwide emergency response activities, Gribben said ... In a related development, the House Subcommittee on Government Management, Information and Technology today released its fourth report card on the Y2K readiness of key federal agencies. The report found that 41 "high impact" federal programs, such as air traffic control and Medicare, are not yet Y2K compliant. cnnfn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From CNET: WHITE HOUSE CREATES NEW CENTER FOR Y2K BUG The ICC will work with the Council and the Office of Management and Budget to assure that federal efforts to restore critical systems are coordinated with efforts managed by federal agencies acting under existing emergency response authorities ... Koskinen has appointed retired Army Lieutenant General Peter Kind as director of the ICC... In other news, the Senate today is expected to take up the "Y2K Act"--legislation that looks to limit lawsuits arising from the Year 2000 technology problem ... news.com Y2KNEWSWIRE picked up on this first. But for the masses having CNET & CNN pick up on this somehow legitimizes the whole deal. Too bad they don't have larger circulation - but I imagine we'll be seeing something in print media soon. Looks like things are heating up. Cheryl
