This was interesting....

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

While searching for the website where all the Executive Orders are listed, I came across this site. It is the Federal Register. I did a search on year 2000 and Y2K & it gave me 38 "hits". This url is the page all 38 are listed on. Click on the text of each document & just scroll thru it. Y2k or Year 2000 will be in bold. Especially check out #'s 8,10,19,& 20. You'll just shake your head!! The url is: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/mu/tdb.cgi This website will explain about the Federal Register:www.nara.gov/fedreg/index.html Here's another one to check out: www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aces/140.html Have a good evening all (or should I say morning,since it's 1:15am!) Donna :o)

Sorry Chuck--will see if I can figure out what I did wrong & will get back to you... Donna

Chuck & all-- Try as I may I couldn't get thru either. (even after I corrected the typo in the URL) sooo... will tell you how I got there in the first place & I hope that will get you there. Start with url www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aces/140.html on that screen, scroll down to Federal Register Sections & click these boxes: Proposed Rules, Notices, Presidential Documents. Then scroll down to Issue Date, put in 01/01/98 - 12/02/98. Scroll down to search terms, put in Year 2000 AND Y2K (and must be in caps) click submit. The screen listing the 38 documents will come up. Just click on Text of whichever doc you want to look at. #8 is "Problems in Maritime Industry" #10 is Dept. of Transportation, #19 is the FCC & #20 is Dept. of Agriculture. These are the ones I referred to in the original post. I hope that this gets you there ok, if not will try & figure out another way.

Good luck! Donna

Donna and all. Strange how that site works and then not works ;-). Wouldnt work at first, but I backtracked and heres how I got there:

http://www.access.gpo.gov/ Under "Access to Government Information Products" click: Search Databases http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dbsearch.html Click: Federal Register http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aces140.html Now follow her directions about "scroll down to Federal Register Sections & click these boxes:"

BTW, if you lose it again, try browser search for "United States Government Printing Office" Haven't had time to read the articles, but I'm sure they're going to be interesting. Margot

Sorry that my text all ran together and no periods showing (it didn't recognize my paragraphs): here is is again separated with hyphens:

http://www.access.gpo.gov/ - Under "Access to Government Information Products" click: Search Databases - http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dbsearch.html - Go down page an click: Federal Register - http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aces140.html - Now follow her directions about "scroll down to Federal Register Sections & click these boxes:"

Sorry, Margot

Margot -- I cheated and used [View Source] to look at the html code for this page. You can force a paragraph break with

[LeftArrow]p[RightArrow]. This doesn't need to be disabled.
