+# the dates for 2003 and 2004 remain unchanged....
+#
+# As far as 2005 and beyond, no dates have been set.  However, the
+# minister has mentioned that he wishes to propose to move Israel's
+# timezone in 2005 from GMT+2 to GMT+3 and upon that have DST during
+# the summer months (i.e. GMT+4).  However, no legislation in this
+# direction is expected until the latter part of 2004 which is a long
+# time off in terms of Israeli politics.
+
+# (2004-09-20):
+# The latest rumour, however, is that in 2005, when the clock changes to
+# Daylight Saving Time (date as yet unknown), the move will be a two-hour leap
+# forward (from UTC+0200 to UTC+0400) and then, in the fall, the clock will
+# move back only an hour to UTC+0300 thus effectively moving Israel's timezone
+# from UTC+0200 to UTC+0300.  However, no actual draft has been put before the
+# Knesset (Israel's Parliament) though the intention is to do so this
+# month [2004-09].
+
+# (2004-09-26):
+# Even though the draft law for the above did pass the Ministerial Committee
+# for Legislative Matters three months ago, it was voted down in today's
+# Cabinet meeting.  The current suggestion is to keep the current timezone at
+# UTC+0200 but have an extended period of Daylight Saving Time (UTC+0300) from
+# the beginning of Passover holiday in the spring to after the Tabernacle
+# holiday in the fall (i.e. the dates of which are governed by the Hebrew
+# calendar but this means at least 184 days of DST).  However, this is only a
+# suggestion that was raised in today's cabinet meeting and has not yet been
+# drafted.

-# speed and direction, it would be 12 o'clock when the Sun crossed the ship's
-# meridian (12 o'clock = local apparent noon).  During 1917, at the
-# Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, it was recommended that all
-# ships, both military and civilian, should adopt hourly standard time zones
-# on the high seas.  Whenever a ship was within the territorial waters of any
-# nation it would use that nation's standard time.  The captain was permitted
-# to change his ship's clocks at a time of his choice following his ship's
-# entry into another zone time--he often chose midnight.  These zones were

-# with the following exceptions:
-#
-# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,

 #
-# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like

-#   have been like America/Indiana/Vincennes.
-#
-# - Crawford, Pike, 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.''
+# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
+# Indiana generally observes either EST all year, or CST/CDT,
+# but areas near Cincinnati and Louisville use those cities' timekeeping
+# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;
+# and there are other exceptions as noted below.
+# Shanks partitions Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
+# and writes ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
 # Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
 #
+# Since 1970, EST-only Indiana has been like America/Indianapolis,
+# with exceptions noted below for Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties.
+# The parts of Indiana not listed below have been like America/Chicago,
+# America/Louisville, or America/New_York.
+#
 # 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'.
+#
+# Most of EST-only Indiana last observed DST in 1970.
 
-# 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
-# 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 Paul Eggert (2001-03-06), following a tip by Markus Kuhn:
+# Pam Belluck reported in the New York Times (2001-01-31) that the
+# Indiana Legislature is considering a bill to adopt DST statewide.
