8# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
9#
10# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
11# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
12# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
13# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
14#
15# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
16# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
17# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
18# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
19# of the IATA's data after 1990.
20#
21# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
22# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
23#
24# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
25# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
26# I found in the UCLA library.
27#
28# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
29# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude,
30# Oxford University Press (1980).
31#
32# I invented the abbreviations marked `*' in the following table;
33# the rest are from earlier versions of this file, or from other sources.

84# From Paul Eggert (1996-05-04):

87# <edd@AIC.NET> reported today that Yerevan probably won't use DST this year,

161
162# From Guy Harris:
163# People's Republic of China. Yes, they really have only one time zone.
164
165# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
166# No they don't. See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52. Even though
167# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
168# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
169# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
170# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
171#
172# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
173# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
174# DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
175#
176# 1986 May 4 - Sept 14
177# 1987 mid-April - ??
178
179# From U. S. Naval Observatory (1989-01-19):
180# CHINA 8 H AHEAD OF UTC ALL OF CHINA, INCL TAIWAN
181# CHINA 9 H AHEAD OF UTC APR 17 - SEP 10
182
183# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
184# Shanks writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
185# observing summer DST from 1986 through 1991; this contradicts Devine's
186# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.
187# Go with Shanks for now. I made up names for the other pre-1980 time zones.

510# From Ephraim Silverberg (1996-01-02):
511#
512# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
513# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
514# Each year they decide anew what havoc to wreak on the country. However,
515# there is a "supposed" set of rules which is subject to change depending
516# on the party the Minister of Interior, the size of the coalition
517# government, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. Hence,
518# changes may need to be made on a semi-annual basis. One thing is entrenched
519# in law, however: that there must be at least 150 days of daylight savings
520# time annually. Ever since 1993, the change to daylight savings time has
521# been from midnight Thursday night to 1 a.m. Friday morning and the change
522# back to standard time on Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time
523# to 11 p.m. standard time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the
524# change back to standard time takes place on Sunday night instead of Saturday
525# night to avoid conflicts with the Jewish New Year.

555# Caveat emptor: The dates for the years 1996-1998 were originally announced
556# on 1995-08-31, by the previous Minister of Interior. The new Minister
557# of Interior changed the dates on 1996-01-01, to take into account the
558# desires of certain portions of Israeli society (the next election is in the
559# Fall of 1996). After this (1996) year's Daylight Savings Time is over, the
560# new minister has announced that a study will be conducted as to the wishes of
561# the populace regarding the length of Daylight Savings Time and the Interior
562# Committee will meet to review the results of the study and make any necessary
