Played golf today with a man who works for Chase, head office, international dept.

One of his function is y2k compliance... originally Chase announced 280 million dollars set aside for y2k ,, no way he says,, it will take min 1/2 bill just for Chase alone.. further all their Asian operations are nightmare, he says,, not enough people in those countries with y2k knowledge..

He says countries in ASEAN for sure will be a problem ,,, but the worst fear is Japan ,,

Also Chase and others declared end 98 compliance.. again he says impossible...

Imagine the manufacturing sector..

Humbly report, sibe, if approximately $150 million was incurred in 1997, and if Citicorp's total y2k costs will amount to approximately $600 million, that leaves $450 million between now and 1999, no?

If this example is any indication of the state of global y2k remediation efforts, than it seems to me, it bodes well for the y2k sector.
