Unnamed Administration sources reported that Robert Cannon said:
>From the Federal Governments Y2K Consumer Information Pages
"An unusually large number of telephone calls are likely to be made on New
Year�s Eve and on New Year's Day, 2000. This high traffic could cause delays
and other problems on the telephone network unrelated to any Year 2000
problems. For this reason, we ask that you minimize telephone use on New
Year�s Eve or Day."

And in the words of an official Y2K plan from an unnamed agency:
Do not tie up the phone lines; send a fax instead.
