H. Con. Res. 300 recognizes our hard-working Federal workers for their successful efforts in preparing our Nation from any catastrophic Year 2000 disruptions. The fact that our Nation's Federal systems were able to operate unimpeded by Y2K was a direct result of the comprehensive efforts made by those dedicated, talented and committed Federal workers who served ably in the front lines of this epic battle to vanquish the millennium bug. The Federal workforce identified and worked to resolve the Y2K problem, giving countless hours, including their holidays, to assure the American people that major Y2K breakdowns in key infrastructures were unlikely. The risks and consequences of inaction were simply too dire to justify a lesser Federal effort.
