Given the time it has taken to get out 4Q/FY numbers together and reported, isn't it just going to be a month or so until we see 1Q numbers in October? If so, then any positive statements made by JJ in the CC should have some proof to them in the near term. Don't know if this means anything or not. It's just that after having such a long gap between 3&4Q's numbers, 1Q seems to jump right in there with more info quite quickly.

State Y2K fix 'slow,' GAO warns BY ORLANDO DE BRUCE (odebruce@fcw.com) The General Accounting Office has warned the State Department that it is moving too slowly in fixing computers for the Year 2000 problem and needs to make some improvements to meet the deadline. In a report released last month, GAO encouraged State to reassess all its systems, ensure that mission-critical computer systems receive priority attention, focus its contingency planning efforts on the core business functions and supporting systems, and ensure that the department's bureaus have identified and corrected interfaces. . State relies on a variety of information systems and networks to help it carry out its responsibilities and support business functions such as financial management, medical assistance, visa and passport issuance, diplomatic agreements and communications, and personnel. . According to the report, "Year 2000 Computing Crisis: State Department Needs to Make Fundamental Improvements to Its Year 2000 Program,'' the department supports its systems on a variety of hardware platforms, most of which are not Year 2000-compliant and will need to be fixed. Some of its corporate systems are operated on IBM Corp. mainframes at data processing centers in the Washington, D.C., area and overseas. . "State has taken many positive actions to increase awareness, promote sharing of information and encourage its bureaus to make Year 2000 remediation efforts a high priority,'' the report states. "However, State's progress in responding to the problems has been slow.''. fcw.com
