CCIR Report 517 does indeed describe to procedure for introducing a
'negative' leap second, but it was never actually needed.
 
Please note that there were also June 30 leap seconds in 81, 82, 83
and 85.  Should raise some concern among anti-alcoholic leagues 8-).
 
And don't forget to buy bottles in time for the Dec 31, 1990 leap
