Major changes in the recently announced 3Q1997 3.5m observing
schedule are required.  The net effect of these changes will
be to shift the planned 6 week shutdown later into the quarter.
Obviously, there will be substantial disruption of observing
plans based on the previous schedule.  This is unfortunate but
appears to be unavoidable.

This message will be followed by three others:
1) A description of the detailed re-arrangement of the 3Q1997
   schedule and a procedure for making whatever changes are thus
   required in scheduled programs.
2) A plan for handling the scheduling of future engineering
   shutdowns in a more effective and satisfactory way.
3) A report on progress-to-date in our "Three Year Plan" and other
   3.5m engineering efforts, particularly those associated with
   shutdowns.

The first two will come from me, while the third will be from Chris
Stubbs.

Schedulers and UC members, please try to bring this and the 3
subsequent messages to the attention of all interested parties
at your institutions.
