# @(#)pacificnew 4.4 # From Arthur David Olson (January 18, 1989): # On November 10, 1987, the U. S. House of Representatives passed a bill # (H.R. 435), the "Uniform Poll Closing Time Act", establishing # "Pacific Presidential Election Time"; it was not acted on by the Senate # before the end of the 100th Congress and so died. # The bill has been reintroduced in the 101st Congress as H. R. 18; # H. R. 96 also deals with poll closing time. Either bill would have to be # passed by both the House and Senate and signed by the President (or have # the President's veto overridden by the House and Senate) before becoming law. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Twilite 1989 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D Rule Twilite 1989 max uspres Oct lastSun 2:00 1:00 PE Rule Twilite 1989 max uspres Nov Sun>=7 2:00 0 S Rule Twilite 1989 max nonpres Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone US/Pacific-New -8:00 US P%sT 1989 -8:00 Twilite P%sT
