New rules for summer time in Brazil

[Paulo Alexandre Pinto Pires]

Dear folks,

At last, Brazilian decree on summer time for 2004/2005 is out
(it can be retrieved from Presidency website at
<https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2004/Decreto/D5223.htm>
and National Press web site at
<http://www.in.gov.br/materias/xml/do/secao1/1187435.xml>).

Innovations for this year include begining of summer time on a
Tuesday (2004/11/02, that happens to be a religious holiday for
mourning the dead).  I *really* don't believe that this starting
on Tuesday will last.  States are the same as last year.

If you have doubts, contact me.

Regards,
