The Y2K bill compromise reached Tuesday night between Congress and White House chief of staff John Podesta (CI No 3,693) looked under threat again yesterday, as the White House sought additional changes before agreeing to accept it. But other sources said that there were only loose ends to resolve. The IT industry was celebrating the news that a deal was imminent yesterday. Now we can stop lobbying and go back to our real jobs said Craig Barrett, Intel Corp president and CEO, speaking at yesterday’s Workstation Leadership Forum in Burlingame, California. The bill is expected to go before a full House vote on Thursday.
