*** U.S. get failing grade for millennium bug fixes The U.S. government got a failing grade Tuesday from a key member of Congress for its work to avoid potential "millennium bug" problems and prepare critical computers for the year 2000 and beyond. "Overall, the federal government earned an 'F'. Underlying this dismal grade is a disturbing slowdown in the government's rate of progress," said Rep. Stephen Horn, R-Calif., who has been monitoring the problem. Horn, Chairman of the House government technology subcommittee, cited the slowdown in the government's progress, despite President Clinton's earlier appointment of John Koskinen to head a special task force.
