The federal government has now missed three Y2K deadlines imposed by the Clinton Administration. The deadline was then extended to December 31, 1998. The deadline was again extended, this time to March 31, 1999. On this date, the Administration claimed that 92 percent of the government's mission critical systems were Y2K-ready. This, despite the fact that several agencies are not scheduled to be ready until December at the earliest.
