Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem

Overview
On April 2, 1998, the U.S. Senate unanimously voted to establish a new committee to address the Y2K technology problem. The Special Committee on the Year 2000 Tech- nology Problem was authorized through February 29, 2000. The Special Committee did not have legislative authority, which is why each of the members was carefully selected based on membership on other committees, such as Judiciary, Armed Services and Government Affairs.
