Hello All,

   With the unusual discovery of seven (7) decay date conflicts in
today's
   report. I thought it appropriate to list them as an advisory to all
who
   keep up on such matters on SeeSat-L.  The issue is decay dates only.

           Reference file listing decay date conflicts found in
               10/02/99 OIG Satellite Catalog Action Report
                  ( from modified section of report )

1st item of each set from OIG/GSFC 10/02/99 Satellite Catalog Action
Report.
2nd item is of my records compiled over the years since 2/96 with
OIG/GSFC
Satellite Situation Reports, Catalog Action Reports and OIG web
inquiries.
