The Israeli government today adopted a proposal by Minister of Interior Eli Yishai to shorten the period of Daylight Savings Time for the year 2002 (only -- the dates for 2003 and 2004 are, so far, unaffected). The proposed date to Daylight Savings Time is September 13, 2002 instead of the current date: October 7, 2002. The hour of changeover has not yet been decided. However, both the date and the proposal to change the ending time are not final until they receive Knesset approval since they have to override the law passed in July 2000. I will make another announcement to the list when there is a concrete date and when the proposal passes both the Ministry of Interior Knesset Committee and the Knesset plenum. ___________________________________________________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Phone number: 972-2-6585521 Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
