# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
-# * Border states including Baja California, Chihuahua, and Nuevo Leon
-# will use US rules,
# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador decreed that
# the Federal District will not adopt DST.
# * 4 of 16 district leaders announced they'll ignore the decree.
# * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including
# the airport, banks, hospitals, and schools.

+# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
+# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
+# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
+# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
+# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
+# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
+# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
+# September 30, 2001.
