"No Excuses for Failure!" ____________________________________(news) Link: fcw.com Franklin Raines runs the Office of Management and Budget. He has laid down the law: Federal agencies will meet the y2k deadline, or else. The only question is, or else WHAT ? This story is from FEDERAL COMPUTER NEWS (Feb. 9). * * * * * Franklin Raines, director of the Office of Management and Budget, told attendees at the Virtual Government '98 conference here that government must learn to fundamentally change the experience of its customer at the point of sale-whether that is collecting taxes or delivering veterans benefits. And, he added, "the largest single stumbling block to accomplishing that goal is Year 2000." As part of OMB's new emphasis on Y2K issues, Cabinet members will be held personally responsible for how their agencies handle the problem, he emphasized. "Y2K is Priority 1," Raines said. "We will not accept as an excuse that agencies did not have the resources to fix the problem."
