State Department: Y2K Failures 'Inevitable'...07/27/99
 
(CNN) Year 2000 problem failures are inevitable both here and abroad and will disrupt global trade, the U.S. State Department warned the Senate's special committee on Y2K last week. "The global community is likely to experience some Y2K-related failures in every sector, country and region," said Jacquelyn Williams-Bridgers, inspector general of the State Department. The year 2000 chiefs of major global corporations didn't dispute the State Department's grim assessment in Senate testimony Monday.
