-# 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.
+# From Arthur David Olson (April 5, 1989):
+# On April 5, 1989, the U. S. House of Representatives passed (238-154) a bill
+# establishing "Pacific Presidential Election Time"; it was not acted on
+# by the Senate or signed into law by the President.
+# You might want to change the "PE" (Presidential Election) below to
+# "Q" (Quadrennial) to maintain three-character zone abbreviations.
+# If you're really conservative, you might want to change it to "D".
+# Avoid "L" (Leap Year), which won't be true in 2100.
+
+# If Presidential Election Time is ever established, replace "XXXX" below
+# with the year the law takes effect and uncomment the "##" lines.
