Some very interesting pieces on the Yardeni T-300 - site. Yardeni and Kappelman discussing in detail contingency planning in Los Angeles. 'chemical industries very late' 'where are the greatest risks?' - 'health and safety; that's where you have to look first'

LOL - '...and he had to deal with only one bug' T-300 days conference - Gwynneth Flowers, Action 2000 UK 'UK probably the only country with INDEPENDENT assessment of Y2k status in infrastructure industries; like water, electricity' 'in the UK, an emergency planning structure... is in place since WWII, and grown since that time...' 'with Y2k, how do we need to change this structure...is now worked on...' 'how do we manage the scarce resources during the T2k transition period.. this is worked on right now on government level...' 'still 2/5 of businesses have to take action...worry is that they site right in the supply chain of the big boys...' 'they have not recognised supply chain problems... very stringent Health+Safety legislation... so they have to take action' 'Action 2000 has a staff of 50' 'Starr had a bigger staff than Koskinen'....' and he had to deal with only one bug' <laughter> 'international... worry: developed nations that have not taken sufficient action' 'US and UK will publish what those countries are in the future... this with regard to travelling abroad etc' 'Y2k has to be brought up to the G8 group of nations'
