sibe - Re.: Gingrich Wants $4B for 2000 Bug MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Saturday that Republicans will seek at least $4 billion in emergency spending to solve the millennium computer problem. ''We believe that the Year 2000 computer problem is a lot bigger problem than the president and the administration has admitted,''... At long last, y2k is getting the attention and may even be politicized, especially at the heels of the tobacco bill controversy. Imagine how a well-publicized y2k failure, especially IRS or FAA, could affect the next election! IRS is already on a hot seat and an IRS failure could hit everyone's pocketbook, including the Congress. Alan Simpson is testifying on power grid, telecom, etc. on June 22, etc. comlinks.com Will try to watch it myself. Hope others watch and comment here. Ram
