<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Risto Nykänen wrote me that Guatemala is going
to observe DST from 2008-04-30 to 2008-09-29. Searching for confirmation,
I found an article at http://www.prensalibre.com/pl/2008/enero/29/217165.html,
apparently from a Guatemalan newspaper. It says:<BR><BR>"El Gobierno
guatemalteco adelantará la hora oficial en a partir del 30 de abril en un
intento por reducir la demanda de energía eléctrica.</FONT></DIV><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR>“'Ya es un hecho, se va a cambiar a finales de abril para tener horario
de verano', dijo el vocero presidencial Fernando Barillas.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>"Con la medida el ejecutivo espera obtener un ahorro de 60 megavatios
diarios entre el 30 de abril y el 30 de septiembre, cuando termine el horario
especial. ..."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My translation:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"The Guatemalan government will advance official time starting on April 30
in an initiative to reduce demand for electrical energy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"'It is already a done deed, we are going to change at the end of April to
observe summer time', the presidential spokesman Fernando Barillas said.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"With this measure the executive hopes to save 60 megawatts a day between
April 30 and September 30, when the special schedule ends."</DIV>
