                          WEDNESDAY LAUNCH

The launch of a Titan IV rocket from Vandenberg AFB appears to be on
schedule for Wednesday. As of Monday, the probability that the weather
would be within acceptable limits at launch time was 60%.

Although this is a daytime launch, it could potentially be visible for
over a wide area.
