The following is correct

# reported ``the country's standard time will be put forward by one hour at
# midnight Friday (1830 GMT) `in the light of the present power crisis'.''
# Transitions before 1996 are from Shanks (1991).
#
# From Dharmasiri Senanayake, Sri Lanka Media Minister (1996-10-24), as quoted
# in <URL:news:54rka5$m5h at mtinsc01-mgt.ops.worldnet.att.net> (1996-10-26):
# With effect from 12.30 a.m. on 26th October 1996
# Sri Lanka will be six (06) hours ahead of GMT.
