'U.S. Announces New Campaign for Millennium Readiness By JERI CLAUSING ASHINGTON - If the millennium computer bug hit today, the lights would stay on -- most of them anyway, a top energy official said Tuesday. But that's the most specific answer the president of the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) and federal officials could give when pressed for detailed assessments of what has or is being done to ensure that the millions of computers that control nearly every aspect of our daily lives are ready for the year 2000. John Koskinen, appointed by President Clinton to a special Year 2000 office that is overseeing the daunting task, did, however, announce a new national campaign to conduct a comprehensive survey of the electric power industry's preparedness and help coordinate solutions. The announcement comes on the heels of a congressional survey indicating none of the nation's top 10 utilities is prepared for the so-called y2k bug, a programming problem that will cause millions of computers and embedded chips in systems around the world to read the year 2000 as 1900. .. nytimes.com
