 # This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,

 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 #
 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
 #
 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source
 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
 # of the IATA's data after 1990.
 #
 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
 # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
 #
 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
 # I found in the UCLA library.
 #
 # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
 # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
 #
 # I invented the abbreviations marked `*' in the following table;
 # the rest are from earlier versions of this file, or from other sources.

 # China
 
 # From Guy Harris:
 # People's Republic of China.  Yes, they really have only one time zone.
 
 # From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
 # No they don't.  See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52.  Even though
 # China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
 # Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized.  Since that date, China
 # has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
 # the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region).  I don't know about DST for it.
 #
 # . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
 # painful to suck in another copy..  So, here is what I have for
 # DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
 #
 #     1986 May 4 - Sept 14
 #     1987 mid-April - ??
 
 # From U. S. Naval Observatory (1989-01-19):
 # CHINA               8 H  AHEAD OF UTC  ALL OF CHINA, INCL TAIWAN
 # CHINA               9 H  AHEAD OF UTC  APR 17 - SEP 10
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # Shanks & Pottenger write that China (except for Hong Kong and Macau)
 # has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1, observing summer DST
 # from 1986 through 1991; this contradicts Devine's
 # note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.
 # Go with Shanks & Pottenger for now.  I made up names for the other
 # pre-1980 time zones.

 # Chinese names for these locales (before 1949).
 #
 # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-07-14):
 # I have investigated the timezones around 1970 on the
 # http://www.astro.com/atlas site [with provinces and county
 # boundaries summarized below]....  A few other exceptions were two
 # counties on the Sichuan side of the Xizang-Sichuan border,
 # counties Dege and Baiyu which lies on the Sichuan side and are
 # therefore supposed to be GMT+7, Xizang region being GMT+6, but Dege
 # county is GMT+8 according to astro.com while Baiyu county is GMT+6
 # (could be true), for the moment I am assuming that those two
 # counties are mistakes in the astro.com data.

 # Georgia
 # From Paul Eggert (1994-11-19):
 # Today's _Economist_ (p 60) reports that Georgia moved its clocks forward
 # an hour recently, due to a law proposed by Zurab Murvanidze,
 # an MP who went on a hunger strike for 11 days to force discussion about it!
 # We have no details, but we'll guess they didn't move the clocks back in fall.
 #
 # From Mathew Englander, quoting AP (1996-10-23 13:05-04):
 # Instead of putting back clocks at the end of October, Georgia
 # will stay on daylight savings time this winter to save energy,
 # President Eduard Shevardnadze decreed Wednesday.
 #
 # From the BBC via Joseph S. Myers (2004-06-27):
 #
 # Georgia moved closer to Western Europe on Sunday...  The former Soviet
 # republic has changed its time zone back to that of Moscow.  As a result it
 # is now just four hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, rather than five hours
 # ahead.  The switch was decreed by the pro-Western president of Georgia,
 # Mikhail Saakashvili, who said the change was partly prompted by the process
 # of integration into Europe.
 
 # From Teimuraz Abashidze (2005-11-07):
 # Government of Georgia ... decided to NOT CHANGE daylight savings time on
 # [Oct.] 30, as it was done before during last more than 10 years.
 # Currently, we are in fact GMT +4:00, as before 30 October it was GMT
 # +3:00.... The problem is, there is NO FORMAL LAW or governmental document
 # about it.  As far as I can find, I was told, that there is no document,
 # because we just DIDN'T ISSUE document about switching to winter time....
 # I don't know what can be done, especially knowing that some years ago our
 # DST rules where changed THREE TIMES during one month.

 # Portugal tried to change the time forward in 1974 because the sun
 # rises too early but the suggestion raised a lot of problems with the
 # Timorese and I still don't think it would work today because it
 # conflicts with their way of life.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
 # We don't have any record of the above attempt.
 # Most likely our records are incomplete, but we have no better data.
 
 # 
 # From Manoel de Almeida e Silva, Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General
 # (2000-08-16):
 # The Cabinet of the East Timor Transition Administration decided
 # today to advance East Timor's time by one hour.  The time change,
 # which will be permanent, with no seasonal adjustment, will happen at
 # midnight on Saturday, September 16.

 # From Paul Eggert (2007-03-10):

 # JohnTWB writes that Japanese forces did not surrender control in
 # Indonesia until 1945-09-01 00:00 at the earliest (in Jakarta) and
 # other formal surrender ceremonies were September 9, 11, and 13, plus
 # September 12 for the regional surrender to Mountbatten in Singapore.
 # These would be the earliest possible times for a change.

 # from JST to UTC+07:30 on 1945-09-23, and gives 1944-09-01 for Jayapura
 # (Hollandia).  For now, assume all Indonesian locations other than Jayapura
 # switched on 1945-09-23.

 # Iran
 
 # From Roozbeh Pournader (2003-03-15):
 # This is an English translation of what I just found (originally in Persian).
 # The Gregorian dates in brackets are mine:
 #
 #	Official Newspaper No. 13548-1370/6/25 [1991-09-16]
 #	No. 16760/T233 H				1370/6/10 [1991-09-01]
 #
 #	The Rule About Change of the Official Time of the Country
 #
 #	The Board of Ministers, in the meeting dated 1370/5/23 [1991-08-14],
 #	based on the suggestion number 2221/D dated 1370/4/22 [1991-07-13]
 #	of the Country's Organization for Official and Employment Affairs,
 #	and referring to the law for equating the working hours of workers
 #	and officers in the whole country dated 1359/4/23 [1980-07-14], and
 #	for synchronizing the official times of the country, agreed that:
 #
 #	The official time of the country will should move forward one hour
 #	at the 24[:00] hours of the first day of Farvardin and should return
 #	to its previous state at the 24[:00] hours of the 30th day of
 #	Shahrivar.
 #
 #	First Deputy to the President - Hassan Habibi
 #
 # From personal experience, that agrees with what has been followed
 # for at least the last 5 years.  Before that, for a few years, the
 # date used was the first Thursday night of Farvardin and the last
 # Thursday night of Shahrivar, but I can't give exact dates....
 # I have also changed the abbreviations to what is considered correct
 # here in Iran, IRST for regular time and IRDT for daylight saving time.
 #
 # From Roozbeh Pournader (2005-04-05):
 # The text of the Iranian law, in effect since 1925, clearly mentions
 # that the true solar year is the measure, and there is no arithmetic
 # leap year calculation involved.  There has never been any serious
 # plan to change that law....
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # Go with Shanks & Pottenger before Sept. 1991, and with Pournader thereafter.
 # I used Ed Reingold's cal-persia in GNU Emacs 21.2 to check Persian dates,
 # stopping after 2037 when 32-bit time_t's overflow.
 # That cal-persia used Birashk's approximation, which disagrees with the solar
 # calendar predictions for the year 2025, so I corrected those dates by hand.
 #
 # From Oscar van Vlijmen (2005-03-30), writing about future
 # discrepancies between cal-persia and the Iranian calendar:
 # For 2091 solar-longitude-after yields 2091-03-20 08:40:07.7 UT for
 # the vernal equinox and that gets so close to 12:00 some local
 # Iranian time that the definition of the correct location needs to be
 # known exactly, amongst other factors.  2157 is even closer:
 # 2157-03-20 08:37:15.5 UT.  But the Gregorian year 2025 should give
 # no interpretation problem whatsoever.  By the way, another instant
 # in the near future where there will be a discrepancy between
 # arithmetical and astronomical Iranian calendars will be in 2058:
 # vernal equinox on 2058-03-20 09:03:05.9 UT.  The Java version of
 # Reingold's/Dershowitz' calculator gives correctly the Gregorian date
 # 2058-03-21 for 1 Farvardin 1437 (astronomical).
 #
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2006-03-22):
 # Several of my users have reported that Iran will not observe DST anymore:
 # http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-17/0603193812164948.htm
 #
 # From Reuters (2007-09-16), with a heads-up from Jesper Norgaard Welen:
 # ... the Guardian Council ... approved a law on Sunday to re-introduce
 # daylight saving time ...

 # Iraq
 #
 # From Jonathan Lennox (2000-06-12):
 # An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in
 # the U.S. edition) on the Iraqi Kurds contains a paragraph:
 # "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and
 # are an hour ahead of Baghdad."
 #
 # But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows:
 # In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi
 # Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time.  They referred
 # to daylight saving as Saddam time.  But, as of today, the time zone
 # in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq.
 #
 # So we'll ignore the Economist's claim.

 # Israel
 
 # From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
 #
 # I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988.  Until then there were three
 # different abbreviations in use:
 #
 # JST  Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
 # IZT  Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
 # EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
 #
 # Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
 # I ruled out JST.  As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
 # EEST was equally unacceptable.  Since "zonal" was not compatible with
 # any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
 # and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
 # settings in Israeli computers.
 #
 # In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
 # high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
 # family is from India).

 # From Ephraim Silverberg
 # (1997-03-04, 1998-03-16, 1998-12-28, 2000-01-17, 2000-07-25, 2004-12-22,
 # and 2005-02-17):
 
 # According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
 # Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
 # One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
 # days of daylight savings time annually.  From 1993-1998, the change to
 # daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
 # 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
 # Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
 # time.  1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
 # time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
 # conflicts with the Jewish New Year.  In 1999, the change to
 # daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
 # 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time
 # was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for
 # 1999 only.  In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was
 # similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it
 # will take place from 1 a.m. IDT to midnight IST.  Starting in 2001, all
 # changes to/from will take place at 1 a.m. old time, but now there is no
 # rule as to what day of the week it will take place in as the start date
 # (except in 2003) is the night after the Passover Seder (i.e. the eve
 # of the 16th of Nisan in the lunar Hebrew calendar) and the end date
 # (except in 2002) is three nights before Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement]
 # (the eve of the 7th of Tishrei in the lunar Hebrew calendar).

 #
 # but older zic implementations (e.g., Solaris 8) do not support
 # "Fri>=26" to mean April 1 in years like 2005, so for now we list the

 # Japan
 
 # `9:00' and `JST' is from Guy Harris.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (1995-03-06):
 # Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
 # daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but ``the system was discontinued
 # because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours.''
 
 # From Mayumi Negishi in the 2005-08-10 Japan Times
 # :
 # Occupation authorities imposed daylight-saving time on Japan on
 # [1948-05-01]....  But lack of prior debate and the execution of
 # daylight-saving time just three days after the bill was passed generated
 # deep hatred of the concept....  The Diet unceremoniously passed a bill to
 # dump the unpopular system in October 1951, less than a month after the San
 # Francisco Peace Treaty was signed.  (A government poll in 1951 showed 53%
 # of the Japanese wanted to scrap daylight-saving time, as opposed to 30% who
 # wanted to keep it.)
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # Shanks & Pottenger write that DST in Japan during those years was as follows:
 # Rule	NAME	FROM	TO	TYPE	IN	ON	AT	SAVE	LETTER/S
 Rule	Japan	1948	only	-	May	Sun>=1	2:00	1:00	D
 Rule	Japan	1948	1951	-	Sep	Sat>=8	2:00	0	S

 Rule	Japan	1950	1951	-	May	Sun>=1	2:00	1:00	D
 # but the only locations using it (for birth certificates, presumably, since
 # their audience is astrologers) were US military bases.  For now, assume
 # that for most purposes daylight-saving time was observed; otherwise, what
 # would have been the point of the 1951 poll?
 
 # From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-09):
 # 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical
 # Observatory: E 139 44' 40".90 (9h 18m 58s.727), N 35 39' 16".0.
 # This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996'
 # edited by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan....
 # JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST).
 # The law is enacted on 1886-07-07.
 
 # From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16):
 # The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan,
 # which stands for the time on E 135 degree.
 # In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central
 # standard time".  And the same ordinance also established "western standard
 # time", which stands for the time on E 120 degree....  But "western standard
 # time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937).  In the ordinance No.
 # 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is
 # standard....
 #
 # I wrote "ordinance" above, but I don't know how to translate.
 # In Japanese it's "chokurei", which means ordinance from emperor.
 
 # Shanks & Pottenger claim JST in use since 1896, and that a few
 # places (e.g. Ishigaki) use +0800; go with Suzuki.  Guess that all
 # ordinances took effect on Jan 1.

 # Jordan
 #
 # From 
 # Jordan Week (1999-07-01)  via Steffen Thorsen (1999-09-09):
 # Clocks in Jordan were forwarded one hour on Wednesday at midnight,
 # in accordance with the government's decision to implement summer time
 # all year round.
 #
 # From 
 # Jordan Week (1999-09-30)  via Steffen Thorsen (1999-11-09):
 # Winter time starts today Thursday, 30 September. Clocks will be turned back
 # by one hour.  This is the latest government decision and it's final!
 # The decision was taken because of the increase in working hours in
 # government's departments from six to seven hours.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-11-22):
 # Starting 2003 transitions are from Steffen Thorsen's web site timeanddate.com.
 #
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2005-11-23):
 # For Jordan I have received multiple independent user reports every year
 # about DST end dates, as the end-rule is different every year.
 #
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2006-10-01), after a heads-up from Hilal Malawi:
 # http://www.petranews.gov.jo/nepras/2006/Sep/05/4000.htm
 # "Jordan will switch to winter time on Friday, October 27".

 # Kazakhstan
 
 # From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
 # Andrew Evtichov (1996-04-13) writes that Kazakhstan
 # stayed in sync with Moscow after 1990, and that Aqtobe (formerly Aktyubinsk)
 # and Aqtau (formerly Shevchenko) are the largest cities in their zones.
 # Guess that Aqtau and Aqtobe diverged in 1995, since that's the first time
 # IATA SSIM mentions a third time zone in Kazakhstan.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # German Iofis, ELSI, Almaty (2001-10-09) reports that Kazakhstan uses
 # RussiaAsia rules, instead of switching at 00:00 as the IATA has it.
 # Go with Shanks & Pottenger, who have them always using RussiaAsia rules.
 # Also go with the following claims of Shanks & Pottenger:
 #
 # - Kazakhstan did not observe DST in 1991.
 # - Qyzylorda switched from +5:00 to +6:00 on 1992-01-19 02:00.
 # - Oral switched from +5:00 to +4:00 in spring 1989.
 
 # 
 # From Kazakhstan Embassy's News Bulletin #11 (2005-03-21):
 # 
 # The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing
 # daylight saving time citing lack of economic benefits and health
 # complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
 #
 # From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
 # ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
 # was "blended" with the Central zone.  Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
 # two time zones, and difference between them is one hour.  The zone
 # closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
 # same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtobe, Atyrau,
 # Mangghystau, and West Kazakhstan.  The other zone encompasses
 # everything else....  I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones
 # de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.

 # Mongolia
 
 # Shanks & Pottenger say that Mongolia has three time zones, but
 # usno1995 and the CIA map Standard Time Zones of the World (2005-03)
 # both say that it has just one.
 
 # From Oscar van Vlijmen (1999-12-11):
 # 
 # General Information Mongolia
 #  (1999-09)
 # "Time: Mongolia has two time zones. Three westernmost provinces of
 # Bayan-Ulgii, Uvs, and Hovd are one hour earlier than the capital city, and
 # the rest of the country follows the Ulaanbaatar time, which is UTC/GMT plus
 # eight hours."
 
 # From Rives McDow (1999-12-13):
 # Mongolia discontinued the use of daylight savings time in 1999; 1998
 # being the last year it was implemented.  The dates of implementation I am
 # unsure of, but most probably it was similar to Russia, except for the time
 # of implementation may have been different....
 # Some maps in the past have indicated that there was an additional time
 # zone in the eastern part of Mongolia, including the provinces of Dornod,
 # Suhbaatar, and possibly Khentij.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (1999-12-15):
 # Naming and spelling is tricky in Mongolia.
 # We'll use Hovd (also spelled Chovd and Khovd) to represent the west zone;
 # the capital of the Hovd province is sometimes called Hovd, sometimes Dund-Us,
 # and sometimes Jirgalanta (with variant spellings), but the name Hovd
 # is good enough for our purposes.
 
 # From Rives McDow (2001-05-13):
 # In addition to Mongolia starting daylight savings as reported earlier
 # (adopted DST on 2001-04-27 02:00 local time, ending 2001-09-28),
 # there are three time zones.
 #
 # Provinces [at 7:00]: Bayan-ulgii, Uvs, Khovd, Zavkhan, Govi-Altai
 # Provinces [at 8:00]: Khovsgol, Bulgan, Arkhangai, Khentii, Tov,
 #	Bayankhongor, Ovorkhangai, Dundgovi, Dornogovi, Omnogovi
 # Provinces [at 9:00]: Dornod, Sukhbaatar
 #
 # [The province of Selenge is omitted from the above lists.]
 
 # From Ganbold Ts., Ulaanbaatar (2004-04-17):
 # Daylight saving occurs at 02:00 local time last Saturday of March.
 # It will change back to normal at 02:00 local time last Saturday of
 # September.... As I remember this rule was changed in 2001.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2004-04-17):
 # For now, assume Rives McDow's informant got confused about Friday vs
 # Saturday, and that his 2001 dates should have 1 added to them.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-07-26):
 # We have wildly conflicting information about Mongolia's time zones.
 # Bill Bonnet (2005-05-19) reports that the US Embassy in Ulaanbaatar says
 # there is only one time zone and that DST is observed, citing Microsoft
 # Windows XP as the source.  Risto Nykanen (2005-05-16) reports that
 # travelmongolia.org says there are two time zones (UTC+7, UTC+8) with no DST.
 # Oscar van Vlijmen (2005-05-20) reports that the Mongolian Embassy in
 # Washington, DC says there are two time zones, with DST observed.
 # He also found
 # 
 # which also says that there is DST, and which has a comment by "Toddius"
 # (2005-03-31 06:05 +0700) saying "Mongolia actually has 3.5 time zones.
 # The West (OLGII) is +7 GMT, most of the country is ULAT is +8 GMT
 # and some Eastern provinces are +9 GMT but Sukhbaatar Aimag is SUHK +8.5 GMT.
 # The SUKH timezone is new this year, it is one of the few things the
 # parliament passed during the tumultuous winter session."
 # For now, let's ignore this information, until we have more confirmation.
 
 # From Ganbold Ts. (2007-02-26):
 # Parliament of Mongolia has just changed the daylight-saving rule in February.
 # They decided not to adopt daylight-saving time....

 # Pakistan
 
 # From Rives McDow (2002-03-13):
 # I have been advised that Pakistan has decided to adopt dst on a
 # TRIAL basis for one year, starting 00:01 local time on April 7, 2002
 # and ending at 00:01 local time October 6, 2002.  This is what I was
 # told, but I believe that the actual time of change may be 00:00; the
 # 00:01 was to make it clear which day it was on.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2002-03-15):
 # Jesper Norgaard found this URL:
 # http://www.pak.gov.pk/public/news/app/app06_dec.htm
 # (dated 2001-12-06) which says that the Cabinet adopted a scheme "to
 # advance the clocks by one hour on the night between the first
 # Saturday and Sunday of April and revert to the original position on
 # 15th October each year".  This agrees with McDow's 04-07 at 00:00,
 # but disagrees about the October transition, and makes it sound like
 # it's not on a trial basis.  Also, the "between the first Saturday
 # and Sunday of April" phrase, if taken literally, means that the
 # transition takes place at 00:00 on the first Sunday on or after 04-02.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09):
 # DAWN  reported on 2002-10-05
 # that 2002 DST ended that day at midnight.  Go with McDow for now.
 
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2003-03-14):
 # According to http://www.dawn.com/2003/03/07/top15.htm
 # there will be no DST in Pakistan this year:
 #
 # ISLAMABAD, March 6: Information and Media Development Minister Sheikh
 # Rashid Ahmed on Thursday said the cabinet had reversed a previous
 # decision to advance clocks by one hour in summer and put them back by
 # one hour in winter with the aim of saving light hours and energy.
 #
 # The minister told a news conference that the experiment had rather
 # shown 8 per cent higher consumption of electricity.

 # Palestine
 
 # From Amos Shapir (1998-02-15):
 #
 # From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
 # known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
 # Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
 #
 # The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
 # (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
 # time zone was affected then).  It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
 # though.
 #
 # The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
 # annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
 # the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
 # Trans-Jordan").  So the rules for Jordan for that time apply.  Major
 # towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
 # East Jerusalem.
 #
 # Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
 # for East Jerusalem).  They were on Israel time since then; there might
 # have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
 # of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
 # time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
 #
 # The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
 # towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995.  I know that in order to
 # demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
 # summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
 # know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
 # Jordanian one).
 #
 # To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
 #
 # Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
 # ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
 # Israel      | Zion      | Zion      | Zion      | Zion
 # West bank   | Zion      | Jordan    | Zion      | Jordan
 # Gaza        | Zion      | Egypt     | Zion      | Jordan
 #
 # I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
 # have one).
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # Shanks & Pottenger write that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but go
 # with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
 # and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
 # We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
 # the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
 # occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
 # However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
 # for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
 # to Palestine's rules.  If you have more info about this, please
 # send it to tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for incorporation into future editions.
 
 # From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time,
 # forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg:
 #
 # Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time
 # last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks
 # one-hour forward at this time.  As a sign of independence from Israeli rule,
 # the PA has decided to implement DST in April.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
 # Daoud Kuttab writes in
 # 
 # Holiday havoc
 #  (Jerusalem Post, 1999-04-22) that
 # the Palestinian National Authority changed to DST on 1999-04-15.
 # I vaguely recall that they switch back in October (sorry, forgot the source).
 # For now, let's assume that the spring switch was at 24:00,
 # and that they switch at 0:00 on the 3rd Fridays of April and October.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-11-22):
 # Starting 2004 transitions are from Steffen Thorsen's web site timeanddate.com.
 
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2005-11-23):
 # A user from Gaza reported that Gaza made the change early because of
 # the Ramadan.  Next year Ramadan will be even earlier, so I think
 # there is a good chance next year's end date will be around two weeks
 # earlier--the same goes for Jordan.
 
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2006-08-17):
 # I was informed by a user in Bethlehem that in Bethlehem it started the
 # same day as Israel, and after checking with other users in the area, I
 # was informed that they started DST one day after Israel.  I was not
 # able to find any authoritative sources at the time, nor details if
 # Gaza changed as well, but presumed Gaza to follow the same rules as
 # the West Bank.
 
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2006-09-26):
 # according to the Palestine News Network (2006-09-19):
 # http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=596&Itemid=5
 # > The Council of Ministers announced that this year its winter schedule
 # > will begin early, as of midnight Thursday.  It is also time to turn
 # > back the clocks for winter.  Friday will begin an hour late this week.
 # I guess it is likely that next year's date will be moved as well,
 # because of the Ramadan.
 
 # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2007-09-18):
 # According to Steffen Thorsen's web site the Gaza Strip and the rest of the
 # Palestinian territories left DST early on 13.th. of September at 2:00.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2007-09-20):
 # My understanding is that Gaza and the West Bank disagree even over when
 # the weekend is (Thursday+Friday versus Friday+Saturday), so I'd be a bit
 # surprised if they agreed about DST.  But for now, assume they agree.
 # For lack of better information, predict that future changes will be
 # the 2nd Thursday of September at 02:00.
 
 # The rules for Egypt are stolen from the `africa' file.

 # From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
 # "Sri Lanka advances clock by an hour to avoid blackout"
 # (www.virtual-pc.com/lankaweb/news/items/240596-2.html, 1996-05-24,
 # no longer available as of 1999-08-17)
 # reported ``the country's standard time will be put forward by one hour at
 # midnight Friday (1830 GMT) `in the light of the present power crisis'.''
 #
 # From Dharmasiri Senanayake, Sri Lanka Media Minister (1996-10-24), as quoted
 # by Shamindra in
 # 
 # Daily News - Hot News Section (1996-10-26)
 # :
 # With effect from 12.30 a.m. on 26th October 1996
 # Sri Lanka will be six (06) hours ahead of GMT.
 
 # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-04-14), quoting Sri Lanka News Online
 #  (2006-04-13):
 # 0030 hrs on April 15, 2006 (midnight of April 14, 2006 +30 minutes)
 # at present, become 2400 hours of April 14, 2006 (midnight of April 14, 2006).
 
 # From Peter Apps and Ranga Sirila of Reuters (2006-04-12) in:
 # 
 # [The Tamil Tigers] never accepted the original 1996 time change and simply
 # kept their clocks set five and a half hours ahead of Greenwich Mean
 # Time (GMT), in line with neighbor India.
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-04-18):
 # People who live in regions under Tamil control can use TZ='Asia/Calcutta',
 # as that zone has agreed with the Tamil areas since our cutoff date of 1970.
 
 # From K Sethu (2006-04-25):
 # I think the abbreviation LKT originated from the world of computers at
 # the time of or subsequent to the time zone changes by SL Government
 # twice in 1996 and probably SL Government or its standardization
 # agencies never declared an abbreviation as a national standard.
 #
 # I recollect before the recent change the government annoucemments
 # mentioning it as simply changing Sri Lanka Standard Time or Sri Lanka
 # Time and no mention was made about the abbreviation.
 #
 # If we look at Sri Lanka Department of Government's "Official News
 # Website of Sri Lanka" ... http://www.news.lk/ we can see that they
 # use SLT as abbreviation in time stamp at the beginning of each news
 # item....
 #
 # Within Sri Lanka I think LKT is well known among computer users and
 # adminsitrators.  In my opinion SLT may not be a good choice because the
 # nation's largest telcom / internet operator Sri Lanka Telcom is well
 # known by that abbreviation - simply as SLT (there IP domains are
 # slt.lk and sltnet.lk).
 #
 # But if indeed our government has adopted SLT as standard abbreviation
 # (that we have not known so far) then  it is better that it be used for
 # all computers.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-04-25):
 # One possibility is that we wait for a bit for the dust to settle down
 # and then see what people actually say in practice.

 ###############################################################################
 
 # United States
 
 # From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
 # Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
 # Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
 # Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
 # His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
 # was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
 # in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
 # but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
 # His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
 # and the most of the country soon followed suit.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
 # That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
 # See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
 # Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
 # Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
 # It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
 # Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
 # in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
 # of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
 # Not everyone is happy with the results:
 #
 #	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
 #	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
 #	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
 #	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
 #	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
 #	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
 #	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
 #	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
 #	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
 #	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
 #
 #	-- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks,
 #	   Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday
 #
 # For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
 # Robert Garland's 
 # Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
 # (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927).
 #
 # Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
 # However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
 # was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
 # time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
 
 # From Arthur David Olson:
 # US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
 # See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
 # and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
 
 # From Arthur David Olson:
 # Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
 # Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
 
 # From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
 # Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
 # In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
 # An AltaVista search turned up
 # :
 # "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
 # Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
 #  (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
 
 # From Joseph Gallant citing
 # George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
 # At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
 # to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
 # never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
 # CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
 # but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
 # of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
 # London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
 # Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
 #
 # ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
 # Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
 # wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
 # Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
 # typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
 # importance."
 #
 # On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
 # microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
 # before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
 # The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
 #
 # He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
 
 # From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
 # Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
 # that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
 # U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
 # in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

 # From Dave Cantor (2004-11-02):
 # Early this summer I had the occasion to visit the Mount Washington
 # Observatory weather station atop (of course!) Mount Washington [, NH]....
 # One of the staff members said that the station was on Eastern Standard Time
 # and didn't change their clocks for Daylight Saving ... so that their
 # reports will always have times which are 5 hours behind UTC.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-08-26):
 # According to today's Huntsville Times
 # 
 # a few towns on Alabama's "eastern border with Georgia, such as Phenix City
 # in Russell County, Lanett in Chambers County and some towns in Lee County,
 # set their watches and clocks on Eastern time."  It quotes H.H. "Bubba"
 # Roberts, city administrator in Phenix City. as saying "We are in the Central
 # time zone, but we do go by the Eastern time zone because so many people work
 # in Columbus."

 # Alaska
 # AK%sT is the modern abbreviation for -9:00 per USNO.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2001-05-30):
 # Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
 # and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
 # This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
 # also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
 # ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
 # the Julian calendar.
 #
 # As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
 # permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
 # (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
 # was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
 # were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
 # it's best to simply use the official transition.

 # The following switches don't quite make our 1970 cutoff.
 #
 # Shanks writes that part of southwest Alaska (e.g. Aniak)
 # switched from -11:00 to -10:00 on 1968-09-22 at 02:00,
 # and another part (e.g. Akiak) made the same switch five weeks later.
 #
 # From David Flater (2004-11-09):
 # In e-mail, 2004-11-02, Ray Hudson, historian/liaison to the Unalaska
 # Historic Preservation Commission, provided this information, which
 # suggests that Unalaska deviated from statutory time from early 1967
 # possibly until 1983:
 #
 #  Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
 #  "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
 #  location not on Alaska Standard Time.  The following resolution was
 #  made by William Robinson and seconded by Henry Swanson:  Be it
 #  resolved that the City of Unalaska hereby goes to Alaska Standard
 #  Time as of midnight Friday, January 13, 1967 (1 A.M. Saturday,
 #  January 14, Alaska Standard Time.)  This resolution was passed with
 #  three votes for and one against."
 
 # Hawaii
 #
 # From Arthur David Olson:
 # And then there's Hawaii.
 # DST was observed for one day in 1933;
 # standard time was changed by half an hour in 1947;
 # it's always standard as of 1986.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert:
 # Shanks says the 1933 experiment lasted for three weeks.  Go with Shanks.

 # Now we turn to US areas that have diverged from the consensus since 1970.
 
 # Arizona mostly uses MST.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2002-10-20):
 #
 # The information in the rest of this paragraph is derived from the
 # 
 # Daylight Saving Time web page (2002-01-23) maintained by the
 # Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
 # Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
 # time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
 # personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
 # observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
 # Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
 # the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
 # Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
 # mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
 # Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.
 #
 # Shanks says the 1944 experiment came to an end on 1944-03-17.
 # Go with the Arizona State Library instead.

 # Indiana
 #
 # For a map of Indiana's time zone regions, see:
 # 
 # What time is it in Indiana?
 #  (2006-03-01)
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
 # Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
 # with the following exceptions:
 #
 # - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
 #   Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
 #
 # - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
 #
 # - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
 #   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
 #
 # - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
 #   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
 #
 # Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
 # and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
 # Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
 # Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
 #
 # Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
 # that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
 # So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-08-16):
 # http://www.mccsc.edu/time.html says that Indiana will use DST starting 2006.

 # From Deborah Goldsmith (2006-01-18):
 # http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/pdf95/382329_web.pdf [2.9 MB]
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-01-20):
 # It says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,
 # Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the
 # Eastern Time Zone to the Central Time Zone.... The effective date of
 # this rule is 2:OO a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the
 # changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time."
 # Strictly speaking, this means the affected counties will change their
 # clocks twice that night, but this obviously is in error.  The intent
 # is that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT.
 
 # From Gwillim Law (2007-02-10):
 # The Associated Press has been reporting that Pulaski County, Indiana is
 # going to switch from Central to Eastern Time on March 11, 2007....

 # Wayne County, Kentucky
 #
 # From
 # 
 # Lake Cumberland LIFE
 #  (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
 # Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
 # the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
 # the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
 # taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
 # August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
 # The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
 # location in the Central time zone.
 #
 # From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
 # After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
 # Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
 # (-0500) time.  They won't "fall back" this year.  See Sara Shipley,
 # The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):
 # The final rule was published in the
 # 
 # Federal Register 65, 160 (2000-08-17), page 50154-50158.

 # From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
 # Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.
 # Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;
 #	previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10
 # Starke County, IN (from CST to EST) ... 1991-10
 # Oliver County, ND (from MST to CST) ... 1992-10
 # West Wendover, NV (from PST TO MST) ... 1999-10
 # Wayne County, KY (from CST to EST) ... 2000-10
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
 # We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
 # so omit that change for now.
 # See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
 # See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
 # West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
 # 1999-10-31.  See the
 # 
 # Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), page 56705-56707.
 # 
 # However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
 # on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
 # hence a separate tz entry is not needed.
 
 # Michigan
 #
 # From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
 # Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
 # Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
 # but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
 # that Detroit kept
 #
 #	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
 #	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
 #	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
 #	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
 #	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
 #	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
 #	by city vote.
 #
 # This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
 # Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
 # one hour in 1914.''  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
 # info, so omit this for now.
 #
 # Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
 #
 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source

 # west Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward I

 # Shanks & Pottenger also write that Liverpool, NS was the only town
 # in Canada to observe DST in 1971 but not 1970; for now we'll assume

 # Ontario
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
 # Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
 # Toronto.
 # Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
 # Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
 # Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
 # Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
 
 # From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
 # [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
 # effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
 # Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
 # have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
 # 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
 # hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
 # only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
 # presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
 # earlier in June).
 #
 # Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
 
 # From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
 # Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
 # says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
 # but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
 # He also writes that the
 # 
 # Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
 # 
 # says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
 # Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
 # concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
 # Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
 # New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
 # CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
 # violation of the official Ontario rules.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
 # Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
 # 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
 #
 #	The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
 #	This means they spend about half the time on central time and
 #	the other half on eastern time.
 #
 #	For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
 #
 #	"The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
 #	Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
 #	said.  "I don't see any changes happening here."
 #
 # Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
 # [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
 
 # From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
 # I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
 # and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
 # can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
 # time keeping since 1952, at least.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
 # Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
 # ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
 # McKinnon sounds more authoritative.  For now, assume that Atikokan
 # switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
 # ended.  This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
 # entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
 # America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

 # From David Bryan via Tory Tronrud, Director/Curator,
 # Thunder Bay Museum (2003-11-12):
 # There is some suggestion, however, that, by-law or not, daylight
 # savings time was being practiced in Fort William and Port Arthur
 # before 1909.... [I]n 1910, the line between the Eastern and Central
 # Time Zones was permanently moved about two hundred miles west to
 # include the Thunder Bay area....  When Canada adopted daylight
 # savings time in 1916, Fort William and Port Arthur, having done so
 # already, did not change their clocks....  During the Second World
 # War,... [t]he cities agreed to implement DST during the summer
 # months for the remainder of the war years.

 # Manitoba
 
 # From Rob Douglas (2006-04-06):
 # the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
 # March 27, 1987 ... said ...
 # "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of
 # the first Sunday of April of each year and two o'clock Central
 # Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next
 # following, one hour in advance of Central Standard Time."...
 # I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had =
 # been assented to (March 22, 1967)....
 # Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
 # the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of
 # the 1987 version would apply - the changeover was at 2:00 Central
 # Standard Time (i.e. not until 3:00 Central Daylight Time).
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-04-10):
 # Shanks & Pottenger say Manitoba switched at 02:00 (not 02:00s)
 # starting 1966.  Since 02:00s is clearly correct for 1967 on, assume
 # it was also 02:00s in 1966.

 # Saskatchewan
 
 # From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
 # The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
 # level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
 # elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
 # the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
 # DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
 # presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
 # the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
 # time was noted.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
 # Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
 # City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
 # Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
 # Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
 # Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
 # are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
 
 # From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
 # The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
 # provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
 # A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
 # since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
 #
 # Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
 # the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
 # their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
 # referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
 #
 # On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
 # Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
 # part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
 # northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
 # follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
 # zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
 # by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
 #
 # It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
 # on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
 # serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
 # a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
 # rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
 # since sometime in the 1960s.
 
 # From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
 # The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
 # long and rather painful to read.

 # Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # Dawson switched to PST in 1973.  Inuvik switched to MST in 1979.
 # Mathew Englander (1996-10-07) gives the following refs:
 #	* 1967. Paragraph 28(34)(g) of the Interpretation Act, S.C. 1967-68,
 #	c. 7 defines Yukon standard time as UTC-9.  This is still valid;
 #	see Interpretation Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. I-21, s. 35(1).
 #	* C.O. 1973/214 switched Yukon to PST on 1973-10-28 00:00.
 #	* O.I.C. 1980/02 established DST.
 #	* O.I.C. 1987/056 changed DST to Apr firstSun 2:00 to Oct lastSun 2:00.
 # Shanks & Pottenger say Yukon's 1973-10-28 switch was at 2:00; go
 # with Englander.
 # From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
 # Here is a link to the old daylight saving portion of the interpretation
 # act which was last updated in 1987:
 # http://www.gov.yk.ca/legislation/regs/oic1987_056.pdf
 
 # From Rives McDow (1999-09-04):
 # Nunavut ... moved ... to incorporate the whole territory into one time zone.
 # 
 # Nunavut moves to single time zone Oct. 31
 # 
 #
 # From Antoine Leca (1999-09-06):
 # We then need to create a new timezone for the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut
 # to differentiate it from the Yellowknife region.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
 # 
 # Basic Facts: The New Territory
 #  (1999) reports that Pangnirtung operates on eastern time,
 # and that Coral Harbour does not observe DST.  We don't know when
 # Pangnirtung switched to eastern time; we'll guess 1995.
 
 # From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
 # On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
 # Pangnirtung wobbled.  Here is the result of their wobble:
 #
 # The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
 #
 #	First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
 #	Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
 #
 # The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
 #
 #	Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
 #
 # This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
 # No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
 # change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
 # really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
 # They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
 # so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
 # The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
 # their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
 # the current state of affairs.
 
 # From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the
 # 
 # Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19):
 # Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones,
 # central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time
 # for municipal offices and schools....  Igloolik [was similar but then]
 # made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
 # Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
 # for these potential new Zones.
 #
 # The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
 # handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
 # zone] skip daylight savings.  Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
 # Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
 # Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
 # Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
 # required to use daylight savings.
 
 # From
 # 
 # Nunavut now has two time zones
 #  (2000-11-10):
 # The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
 # Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
 # one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
 # At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
 # Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
 # the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
 # central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
 # mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
 # unified time zone in 1999.
 #
 # From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
 # The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
 # Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
 
 # From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
 # The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
 # that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
 # back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
 # cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
 # has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
 # checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
 # more.
 # [Also see  (2001-03-09).]
 
 # From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
 # According to maps at
 # http://inms-ienm.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/images/time_services/TZ01SWE.jpg
 # http://inms-ienm.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/images/time_services/TZ01SSE.jpg
 # (both dated 2003), and
 # http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
 # (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
 # for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
 # round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
 # I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
 # predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
 # The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-07-26):
 # For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
 # daylight saving only during wartime.
 
 # From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
 # ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
 # Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
 # Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
 # daylight saving....
 # http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
 
 # From Chris Walton (2007-03-14):
 # Today I phoned the "hamlet office" to find out what Resolute was doing with
 # its clocks.
 #
 # The individual that answered the phone confirmed that the clocks did not
 # move at the end of daylight saving on October 29/2006.  He also told me that
 # the clocks did not move this past weekend (March 11/2007)....
 #
 # America/Resolute should use the "Canada" Rule up to October 29/2006.
 # After that it should be fixed on Eastern Standard Time until further notice.

 # Mexico
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
 # The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
 # Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
 # 
 # history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
 # .
 #
 # Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
 # (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
 # S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
 # S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
 # S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
 # S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
 
 # From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
 # There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
 # tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
 # the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
 # the relevant documents.
 
 # From Alan Perry (1996-02-15):
 # A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
 # outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
 #
 # ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
 #
 # I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
 # rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
 #
 # 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
 #    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
 #    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
 #    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
 #
 # 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
 #    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
 #    BajaNorte: GMT+7
 #    BajaSur:   GMT+6
 #    General:   GMT+5
 #
 # 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
 #    BajaNorte: GMT+8
 #    BajaSur:   GMT+7
 #    General:   GMT+6
 #
 # The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.
 #

 # From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
 # For an English translation of the decree, see
 # 
 # ``Diario Oficial: Time Zone Changeover'' (1996-01-04).
 # 
 
 # From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
 # The State of Quintana Roo has reverted back to central STD and DST times
 # (i.e. UTC -0600 and -0500 as of 1998-08-02).
 
 # From Rives McDow (2000-01-10):
 # Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time
 # zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
 # savings time so as to stay on the same time zone as the southern part of
 # Arizona year round.
 
 # From Jesper Norgaard, translating
 #  (2001-01-17):
 # In Oaxaca, the 55.000 teachers from the Section 22 of the National
 # Syndicate of Education Workers, refuse to apply daylight saving each
 # year, so that the more than 10,000 schools work at normal hour the
 # whole year.
 
 # From Gwillim Law (2001-01-19):
 #  ... says
 # (translated):...
 # January 17, 2000 - The Energy Secretary, Ernesto Martens, announced
 # that Summer Time will be reduced from seven to five months, starting
 # this year....
 # 
 # [translated], says "summer time will ... take effect on the first Sunday
 # in May, and end on the last Sunday of September.

 # story "Timely Issue Divides Mexicans."...
 # http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37383-2001Jan23.html
 # ... Mexico City Mayor Lopez Obrador "...is threatening to keep
 # Mexico City and its 20 million residents on a different time than
 # the rest of the country..." In particular, Lopez Obrador would abolish
 # observation of Daylight Saving Time.
 
 # 
 # Official statute published by the Energy Department
 #  (2001-02-01) shows Baja and Chihauhua as still using US DST rules,
 # and Sonora with no DST.  This was reported by Jesper Norgaard (2001-02-03).
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-03):
 #
 # 
 # James F. Smith writes in today's LA Times
 # 
 # * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
 # * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador decreed that
 #   the Federal District will not adopt DST.
 # * 4 of 16 district leaders announced they'll ignore the decree.
 # * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including
 #   the airport, banks, hospitals, and schools.
 #
 # For now we'll assume that the Federal District will bow to federal rules.
 
 # From Jesper Norgaard (2001-04-01):
 # I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
 # saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
 # that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
 # saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
 # (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
 # saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
 # Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
 # September 30, 2001.
 # References: "Diario de Monterrey" 
 # Palabra  (2001-03-31)
 
 # From Reuters (2001-09-04):
 # Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was
 # unconstitutional in Mexico City, creating the possibility the
 # capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
 # next year....  The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
 # a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
 # standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
 # subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.
 
 # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2002-03-12):
 # ... consulting my local grocery store(!) and my coworkers, they all insisted
 # that a new decision had been made to reinstate US style DST in Mexico....
 # http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/horaver2001_m1_2002.html (2002-02-20)
 # confirms this.  Sonora as usual is the only state where DST is not applied.

 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
 # America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
 # through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
 # Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
 # that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
 # Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
 # DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
 # data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
 # other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
 # name or contents should be.

 # From Arthur David Olson (1999-03-29):
 # The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
 # the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
 # the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
 # During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
 # "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
 # Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
 # sleep on 1999-03-28--when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
 # to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
 # returned to Baltimore, which switches on that date.)
 
 # From Evert van der Veer via Steffen Thorsen (2004-10-28):
 # Cuba is not going back to standard time this year.
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
 # http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2004/septiembre/juev30/41medid-i.html
 # says that it's due to a problem at the Antonio Guiteras
 # thermoelectric plant, and says "This October there will be no return
 # to normal hours (after daylight saving time)".
 # For now, let's assume that it's a temporary measure.
 
 # From Carlos A. Carnero Delgado (2005-11-12):
 # This year (just like in 2004-2005) there's no change in time zone
 # adjustment in Cuba.  We will stay in daylight saving time:
 # http://www.granma.cu/espanol/2005/noviembre/mier9/horario.html
 
 # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-10-21):
 # An article in GRANMA INTERNACIONAL claims that Cuba will end
 # the 3 years of permanent DST next weekend, see
 # http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2006/octubre/lun16/43horario.html
 # "On Saturday night, October 28 going into Sunday, October 29, at 01:00,
 # watches should be set back one hour -- going back to 00:00 hours -- returning
 # to the normal schedule....
 
 # From Paul Eggert (2007-03-02):
 # http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/english/news/art89.html, dated yesterday,
 # says Cuban clocks will advance at midnight on March 10.
 # For lack of better information, assume Cuba will use US rules,
 # except that it switches at midnight standard time as usual.
+#
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-10-25):

 # From Gwillim Law (2006-04-22), after a heads-up from Oscar van Vlijmen:
 # Diario Co Latino, at
 # http://www.diariocolatino.com/internacionales/detalles.asp?NewsID=8079,
 # says in an article dated 2006-04-19 that the Guatemalan government had
 # decided on that date to advance official time by 60 minutes, to lessen the
 # impact of the elevated cost of oil....  Daylight saving time will last from
 # 2006-04-29 24:00 (Guatemalan standard time) to 2006-09-30 (time unspecified).
 # From Paul Eggert (2006-06-22):
 # The Ministry of Energy and Mines, press release CP-15/2006
 # (2006-04-19), says DST ends at 24:00.  See

 # Haiti
 # From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):
 # Risto O. Nykanen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
 # I searched for confirmation, and I found a
 #  press release
 # on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
 # .  Translated from French, it says:
 #
 #  "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
 #   and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
 #   Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
 #   provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
 #   Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
 #
 #  "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
 #   the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
 #   starting at midnight.  This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
 #   October 2005.
 #
 #  "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
 #
 # From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
 # I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
 # last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
 # "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
 # next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
 #
 # I have found this article about it (in French):
 # http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
 #
 # The reason seems to be an energy crisis.
 
 # From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22):
 # Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007.

 #
 # From Paul Eggert (2005-05-01):
 # The decree doesn't say anything about daylight saving, but for now let's
 # assume that it is daylight saving....
 #
 # From Gwillim Law (2005-04-21):
 # The Associated Press story on the time change, which can be found at
 # http://www.lapalmainteractivo.com/guias/content/gen/ap/America_Latina/AMC_GEN_NICARAGUA_HORA.html
 # and elsewhere, says (fifth paragraph, translated from Spanish):  "The last
 # time that a change of clocks was applied to save energy was in the year 2000
 # during the Arnoldo Aleman administration."...
 # The northamerica file says that Nicaragua has been on UTC-6 continuously
 # since December 1998.  I wasn't able to find any details of Nicaraguan time
 # changes in 2000.  Perhaps a note could be added to the northamerica file, to
 # the effect that we have indirect evidence that DST was observed in 2000.
 #
 # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2005-11-02):
 # Nicaragua left DST the 2005-10-02 at 00:00 (local time).
