even better was the subsequent document for the 2005 WP7A meeting

http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/nc1985wp7a.doc

where the phrase "leap hour" explicitly occurs.

This draft was not approved by the US powers that be, but other
countries did provide new documents.  The current draft revision of
TF.460 is based on those contributions from other countries.
