I heard that a Federal Law passed to postpone the end of daylight savings for a week, from Sunday, October 29th making it now to end on Sunday, November 5th. My question is, "Did I hear about the change correctly?"
Providing the HR bill would be a plus!!

You are half right. Here are the facts:
In 2006, daylight time begins on April 2 and ends on October 29.
In 2007, daylight time begins on March 11 and ends on November 4. [With the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the starting and ending dates have once again been shifted. Beginning in 2007, daylight time will start on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November.]
In 2008, daylight time begins on March 9 and ends on November 2.
Daylight time and time zones in the U.S. are defined in the U.S. Code, Title 15, Chapter 6, Subchapter IX -

Last I heard, Daylight Savings Time ends October 29.

I gave up on DST a few years back. I set my clock back a half an hour in October of 2001, and just left it there.
Six months out of the year I'm 30 minutes early to everything, and the rest of the time I'm always late.
Works for me.

I have heard of no such legislation...as far as I know it's still on the 29th of October.
