Daylight Savings Time 2007: Who's the genius behind this?

I want to know who is the genius behind this law? They should be tarred and feathered, or required to cover the cost of all the work that it takes to update systems to meet this new law:

At 2 a.m. on March 11, groggy Americans will turn their clocks forward one hour, marking the beginning of Daylight Saving Time (DST). At 2 a.m. on October 29, groggy Americans will turn their clocks back one hour, marking the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST).-->
The federal law that established "daylight time" in this country does not require any area to observe daylight saving time. But if a state chooses to observe DST, it must follow the starting and ending dates set by the law. From 1986 to 2006 this has been the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it will be observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time. (See: New Federal Law.)

Let me just say that when you work in a shop with hundreds of servers and thousands of computers, the slightest patch requirement makes life miserable. I have already spent two weeks patching systems to meet the requirement, and I have 2 major upgrades to complete prior to the March 11th date. Thanks American lawmakers and your lobbyist buddies!
