Default Sunrise, Sunset -- the real data, for anywhere in the world

Personally, I like the name of the entity responsible,

The Directorate of Time

I always expect The Doctor to pop in when I check that page.

Well... okay, I'll try and find that time, but let's get back to you. What
would you say was
the most challenging part of working for the Ambassador of France?

MRS. HARRISON
The pliable relationship the French have with time.

CUT TO: INT. AIR FORCE ONE, PRESIDENT'S OFFICE - DAY

BARTLET
There's a tremendous amount of informatin you need to keep track of: dates,
names, number,
things I'm not good with.

MRS. HARRISON
That's unusual, isn't it?

BARTLET
What's that?

MRS. HARRISON
A man of your intellect not being good with names and numbers. Especially an
economist of
your stature.

BARTLET
It's not intellect, it's memory. It's a different gift. A wonderful one.
I've never had it.

MRS. HARRISON
There are excersises you can do.

BARTLET
Mm.

MRS. HARRISON
Yes, sir?

BARTLET
I make fun of the French as much as anybody and I don't even know what that
meant.

MRS. HARRISON
I meant...

BARTLET
Nah, that's okay. I think you're terrific and I appreciate your coming in
and talking to us.

MRS. HARRISON
Thank you, sir. I look forward to talking to your office.

BARTLET
Thanks again.

My favorite organization name was the IERS: International Earth
Rotation Service and I speculated about the dire consequences if they
ever stopped providing this service.

Unfortunately they have since changed their title to the lengthier but
more mundane International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems
Service while retaining the same acronym.
