		       WEDNESDAY MISSILE LAUNCH?

A Peacekeeper missile is scheduled for launch this month from
Vandenberg AFB. The Air Force has not yet officially released the
date, but there are indications that the launch is scheduled for
Wednesday morning, May 15th, at 01:01 PDT, the start of a 6-hour
launch window.

I will attempt to confirm the pending launch and send a notification
tomorrow night. For additional information on this possible launch,
consult the Vandenberg Launch Update Line at 805-606-1857 and the
Lompoc Record at http://www.lompocrecord.com.
