                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 Designating Monday, January 3, 2000, as the day for the observance of 
                the New Year's Day holiday in that year.

Whereas the problem commonly referred to as the ``Year 2000 computer problem'' 
        may undermine the ability of computers to function correctly, and cause 
        a disruption in business, government, and other important services; and
Whereas January 1, 2000, occurs on a Saturday, and hence, in accordance with 
        applicable provisions of law, the New Year's Day holiday would, but for 
        this resolution, be observed on Friday, December 31, 1999: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That, in order to provide the 
public and technology professionals with an additional day, prior to 
the start of the workweek, to begin repairs on failed computer systems 
caused by the Year 2000 computer problem, the New Year's Day holiday in 
the year 2000 shall be deemed to occur on January 3, 2000 (rather than 
the date that would otherwise apply under section 6103(a) of title 5, 
United States Code).
