Year 2000 Wire/500-Day "Y2K Reality-Check" From Millennium Spokesinger; Year 2000 Taskforce Supports www.yardeni.com "Global Y2K Action Day"

05:59 a.m. Aug 19, 1998 Eastern

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 1998--Wednesday marks the 500-day countdown to year 2000 nicknamed "Global Y2K Action Day" by Dr. Ed Yardeni, who will moderate the first public internet audio conference between 8AM and 5PM EDT Wednesday on his award-winning www.yardeni.com web site.

The historic event will feature a series of forty-something Y2K experts from around the globe who will testify to the importance of moving from Y2K awareness to action/contingency planning. You could say the many faces of Y2K have finally agreed on something--Year 2000 preparedness requires urgent action ...globally and individually.

Pat Boone, recently dubbed the "Millennium Spokesinger" by The NY Times, announced today that he will meet with Y2KNET founder Craig Smith at his Beverly Hills home to access Dr. Yardeni's conference and strategize how they can help Americans get prepared for the most predictable global crisis in history.

Smith announced that next week Y2KNET will begin sending a complimentary copy of "Y2KCPR" to media, government and religious leaders. This brand new, 48-page Y2K resource guide entitled "The Many Faces of Y2K" is presently being offered free to the public by calling toll free 877/4-Y2KCPR.

According to Craig Smith, "I applaud Dr. Ed Yardeni for filling a leadership void in blowing the Y2K whistle. Our goal is to offer bite-size, practical steps of Y2K preparation that Americans can sink their teeth into. I believe that Y2K will either unify or polarize families and communities with each passing day--the difference will be whether or not we take prudent action now, or procrastinate further."

Y2KNET co-published "Y2KCPR" with Tim Wilson of Y2K News Magazine (as seen on CNN this AM) to help provide a timely cross-section of credible, Y2K analysis from fifteen Y2K experts--including Karen Anderson, Ed Bell, Sen. Bob Bennett, Michael Hyatt, Tony Keyes, Rev. Ken Klein, Jim Lord, Ed Meagher, Dr. Gary North, Paloma O'Riley, Craig Smith, James Stevens, Tim Wilson, Dr. Ed Yardeni, and Ed Yourdon."

Craig Smith has agreed to be available for live media interviews Wednesday between 12PM-4PM EDT. To schedule an interview with any Y2KNET Contributor contact David Bradshaw or Anna Hammond at 800/289-2646 between 8AM and 5PM PDT.
