Tape 47/14


                    And I'll just confirm that the - that disturbance
                    over the So - Solomon Islands is an awfully tightly
                    wound little storm system. And right now, I finally
                    have see New Zealand for the first time in a couple
                    of days, for sure. And the South Island's got some,
                    probably high cirrus over it. North Island looks
                    pretty clear. That's the end that I can get right
                    now.

              CC    Roger. We saw you looking at Regulus there; we
                    didn't realize you were looking at the Earth
                    instead.

              LMP   Ron's been looking for the booster. And he called
                    me down and asked me to look at the Earth. He's
                    been holding out on me.

              LMP   Pass the torch of weather forecasting to Ron.

02 20 55 22   cc    Hey, Jack. I also have some words for you and
                    Gene. Got some advice from the home front. The
                    thing to do with Ron in the future is to hook up
                    a Baby Ben and a metal dishpan. It works every
                    time, if you want to wake him up.

              CMP   No.   I think that's not a good way.

              CC    Ron, everybody I s fine over at El Lago.   They are
                    doing great. Listening to every word.

              CMP   Very good, Bob.   Thank you very much.

              CDR   Hey, Bob. We got two of those flashers out there.
                    They could be SLA panels. I don't know. They're
                    alike in intensity and pretty regular in the - in
                    the intensity, bright and dim flashes they come
                    out with, and they're widely separated. One is
                    about the position we called at the first time;
                    the other one is - oh, as I'm looking at the Earth,
                    far to the left. Closer to the center window now.
