-Caveat Lector-
Among other things, Clinton's executive order says this new government
center will assist other federal agencies (presumably Defense Dept, FEMA)
in Y2K emergency response situations.
* It will make sure that "Federal efforts to restore critical systems are
coordinated with efforts managed by Federal agencies acting under existing
emergency response authorities."
* It will coordinate "agency assessments of Y2K emergencies that could have
an adverse affect on U.S. interests at home and abroad" and assist the
federal government "in reconstitution processes where appropriate."

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
