Ken - Look for Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) on the news this evening. He had some rather choice words of warning for the White House Thanks for the heads up on this one. Given the potential political tinderbox on Y2K snafus, I think it wise to ponder prior political p***ing matches... <g> y2ktimebomb.com - David

Ken--I flipped between major network newscasts yesterday evening and didn't see a thing. I'm not surprised the story failed to make the cut for broadcast (if I missed it, let us know.) I expect we'll see something in print today. I just wonder what Republican Party strategists are thinking right now as they line up the troops for passage and court high tech dollars. Is there a GI Republican (or staffer) who's worried about the "downside" of this strategy and backlash on the part of the public/business if "datequake" goes badly? Who would that person(s) be?
