339# From the BBC via Joseph S. Myers (2004-06-27):
340#
341# Georgia moved closer to Western Europe on Sunday... The former Soviet
342# republic has changed its time zone back to that of Moscow. As a result it
343# is now just four hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, rather than five hours
344# ahead. The switch was decreed by the pro-Western president of Georgia,
345# Mikhail Saakashvili, who said the change was partly prompted by the process
346# of integration into Europe.

763
764# (2004-09-20):
765# The latest rumour, however, is that in 2005, when the clock changes to
766# Daylight Saving Time (date as yet unknown), the move will be a two-hour leap
767# forward (from UTC+0200 to UTC+0400) and then, in the fall, the clock will
768# move back only an hour to UTC+0300 thus effectively moving Israel's timezone
769# from UTC+0200 to UTC+0300. However, no actual draft has been put before the
770# Knesset (Israel's Parliament) though the intention is to do so this
771# month [2004-09].
753
772
773# (2004-09-26):
774# Even though the draft law for the above did pass the Ministerial Committee
775# for Legislative Matters three months ago, it was voted down in today's
776# Cabinet meeting. The current suggestion is to keep the current timezone at
777# UTC+0200 but have an extended period of Daylight Saving Time (UTC+0300) from
778# the beginning of Passover holiday in the spring to after the Tabernacle
779# holiday in the fall (i.e. the dates of which are governed by the Hebrew
780# calendar but this means at least 184 days of DST). However, this is only a
781# suggestion that was raised in today's cabinet meeting and has not yet been
782# drafted.
