Council postpones action
on millennium bug issue
By David Ryan
Oregon Daily Emerald
The year 2000 may not bring
Armageddon, but a report deliv
ered to the City Council last night
suggests that it may bring a world
wide recession thanks to an ex
pected computer glitch known as
the Y2K problem.
The problem exists because
many computer systems read year
dates as two digits, causing system
failure when the year 2000 arrives
and the date reads '‘00.”
Councilman Bobby Lee implored
the council to tiy to understand the
complexity ofthe problem.
That complexity was demon
strated in a June 2 C-SPAN broad
cast shown to council members.
In the video, Sen. Robert Bennett
of Utah, chairman of the senate
subcommittee created to deal
with Y2K, addressed a room of
business leaders about the deci
sions made.
Bennett shared an anecdote to
illustrate the proportion of the
Y2K problem. “I called a guy who
had started working on his com
pany’s Y2K problem in 1996,"
Bennett said. “He told me he had
every confidence that his compa
ny will have solved its Y2K prob
lem by the year 2000.
“I asked him, ‘What’s going to
happen to your organization if
you pick up the phone to call one
of your branch offices ... and you
don’t get a dial tone? There was si
lence on the other end of the
line,” Bennett said.
At worst case, Bennett said, the
problem would create recession
due to the inability of businesses
to operate normally.
Bennett outlined seven areas
that the government should work
on to ease the Y2K problem. Utili
ties headed the list, and the last
item was handling negligence
lawsuits against the government.
The council decided to discuss
the Y2K problem again Oct. 7.
