U.S. Senate Report Warns of Y2K Problems Around the
Globe
http://www.DisasterRelief.org/Disasters/990923Y2K/

About half of 161 countries assessed by a special U.S.
senate committee will likely experience Year
2,000-related computer failures in their
telecommunication, energy and transportation systems.
The malfunctions could leave millions without power,
drinking water and basic infrastructure, potentially
leading to a worldwide recession, said the committee's
report, which was released exactly 100 days prior to
the New Year.
