Dear Citizens:

  Not to worry too much about the Navy's computers falling prey to the y2k
computer bug crash.  Clinton will be dismantling and eliminating all the Armed
Forces soon anyway in favor of the United Nations "Peace" FORCE which will,
along with FEMA, attempt to eliminate most Patriots and undesireable citizens.

    Our U.S. Department of State during the Kennedy Administration made the
proposal to the United Nations in 1961 to disarm all citizens and dismantle
ALL military bases and turn over ALL military operations and WEAPONS to the
United Nations.  The U.N. made the statement last year that they were in phase
three (the final stage) of accomplishing these goals.  That is why Clinton is
pushing to take all weapons from U.S. citizens.

Report: Millennium bug could disrupt U.S. Navy

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Navy operations worldwide could be severely
disrupted by any failure to fix the Year 2000 computer bug in critical
systems, the audit and investigations arm of Congress said Tuesday. 

"Failure to address the Year 2000 problem in time could severely degrade =
or
disrupt the Navy's day-to-day and, more importantly, mission-critical
operations," the nonpartisan General Accouting Office said. 

The Year 2000 glitch, sometimes called the millennium bug, refers to the
problem of older computers being unable to recognize the new century. 

These older systems record dates using only the last two digits of the ye=
ar
and unless they are corrected, they could confuse the year 2000 with the
year 1900, creating errors or system crashes. 

For the Navy, at issue are potential incorrect data processing, corrupted
databases or massive system failures that could scramble supply shipments=
,
inventory forecasts, budget estimates and personnel-related information,
the GAO said. 

It said the Year 2000 glitch could disrupt everything from combat
capabilities to communications, intelligence gathering, surveillance and
fleet mobilization and readiness. 

In a report requested by lawmakers, the GAO said the Navy was behind
schedule in fixing the problem. 

"Time is running out to correct Navy systems that could malfunction or
produce incorrect information when the year 2000 is encountered during
automated data processing," it said. 

"The impact of these failures could be widespread, costly and potentially
debilitating to important Navy operations worldwide," Jack Brock, head of
the GAO office that monitors defense information systems, said in the
report addressed to Navy Secretary John Dalton. 

In a reply included with the report, the Navy agreed to a GAO
recommendation that it establish a complete and accurate inventory of
information systems and develop written agreements with "interface partne=
rs." 

The Navy also agreed to plan for the continuity of all its critical
military operations and business processes rather than only a small part =
of
"mission-critical" systems. ^REUTERS@
