Thank you for inviting me to participate in today's hearing on the Year 2000 problem and its impact on the Global Positioning System (GPS). In addition to being the Department of Defense's primary radio navigation system, GPS has become an integral asset in numerous civilian applications and industries, including emergency services, airlines services, commercial fishing and shipping, corporate vehicle fleet tracking, and surveying. It also plays a critical role in communications networks and, hence, the Internet. The system is affected by both the Year 2000 computing problem and a problem associated with the way the system keeps track of time. 1 Today, I will discuss these two important issues, their potential impact, and the status of remedial efforts.
