+# From Steffen Thorsen (2009-08-27):
+# Samoa's parliament passed the Daylight Saving Bill 2009, and will start 
+# daylight saving time on the first Sunday of October 2009 and end on the 
+# last Sunday of March 2010. We hope that the full text will be published 
+# soon, but we believe that the bill is only valid for 2009-2010. Samoa's 
+# Daylight Saving Act 2009 will be enforced as soon as the Head of State 
+# executes a proclamation publicizing this Act.
+#
+# Some background information here, which will be updated once we have 
+# more details:
