Dear ASCA users,

I am pleased to release the first short-term schedule for the ASCA 
AO-6 cycle observations. The schedule is produced basing on the 
tentative long-term timeline which is now under development., and 
it covers the period from January 4 to January 17,  1998. The long-
term timeline for ASCA AO-6 cycle is now under  investigation and
it will be soon released (perhaps in a week) when we get a reasonably 
good solution  of  one year observation plan.

Fumiaki Nagase
