HOUSE APPROVES Y2K BILL
The U.S. House of Representative has voted 407-3 to authorize the
president's Council on the Year 2000 Conversion to take control of computer
systems of critical agencies if they're unlikely to be able to avert a
crisis because of the Year 2000 software problem, in which old programs
using 2-digit codes for years will be unable to do correct date-based
calculations.  The Senate has not yet voted on the measure.  (AP 13 Oct 98)
