URGENT US MAIL in danger MUST READ house.gov This is a long document. The lady does not sugar-coat the bad news. The news is very bad. The Postal Service is late. Its vendors are stonewalling it. For example: "Postal officials started to address the supplier issue in June 1998 and,to date, have identified almost 8,000 critical suppliers. As of January 1999, the Postal Service knew the Y2K status of 349 of these 8,000 suppliers." Then there are data exchanges. "As of January 1999, the Postal Service had not completed its inventory of internal and external data exchanges. The Postal Service has assessed about 4,300 out of approximately 5,700 data exchanges. About 2,000 of the 4,300 data exchanges assessed have been identified as critical. As of now, 123 of the 2,000 have been reported as Y2K ready." Credit Gary North website
