Yes, the U.S. Congress is presently discussing whether to extend DST from the first Sunday in March to the last Sunday in November -- an increase in the duration of DST by about two months. See the following short article that appeared in the _San Francisco Chronicle_ on 9 April: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/04/09/MNGCUC5RCV1.DTL Either way, I still don't understood why our DST period is not centered on the June solstice. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Mark Gingrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] San Leandro, California -
