     Rawland Covey, MV3 Technician, ATSC, mv3@cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov
     Chuck Kodak, MV3 Manager, ATSC, mv3@cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov
     Bill Wildes, GSFC VLBI Network Manager, wtw@wildbill.gsfc.nasa.gov
     Ed Himwich, Scientist, NVI, Inc./GSFC, weh@vega.gsfc.nasa.gov

Please provide any other information that you feel will be
helpful in demonstrating your station's capabilities to
participate in the IVS. If you proposed to the IERS in 1995/6 as
a radio telescope observatory and wish to have that proposal
carry over to the IVS, please make such a statement in this
proposal. 

     We wish to have the IERS proposal for GCGO as a Network
Station carry over to IVS.

Your signature on this form indicates your agreement to
participate in the IVS as a Network Station, to comply with IVS
performance standards for data quality and operational
reliability, and to work closely with the IVS Network and
Technology Coordinators. If this is a new proposal (i.e. not
carried over from IERS) your signature commits your organization
to participate in the IVS.
