WASHINGTON -- A
national ''first-alert'' system
should be created to head off
year 2000 (''Y2K'') computer
problems that ''may threaten our
public safety or national
infrastructure,'' Sen. Bob
Bennett, R-Utah, proposed
Friday.
As chairman of a special
Senate committee investigating
and helping the nation prepare for
potential Y2K problems, Bennett
said it would be ''absolutely
foolish'' not to establish a
first-alert system that could warn
the United States of possible
disruptions before midnight on
Dec. 31, 1999, by monitoring
problems that would hit earlier in
Asia and Europe because of time
zone differences.
