1) FUSE Data workshop presentations available on the web

	For those who could not make it to the FUSE data workshop, recently 
held at STScI, we have assembled edited copies of most of the presentations 
given. Please see:

	

2) Example FUSE data available

	To enable all FUSE data users to form an initial acquaintance with 
FUSE data, we have released two data sets (one TTAG and one HIST mode set) to 
the general community.  These data sets consist of 17.6ksec of HIST and 
9.4ksec TTAG exposures of the white dwarf PG 0749+658.  The data can be 
retrieved from MAST at STScI in the usual fashion.  Further details can be 
found at:


	Instructions on how to retrieve FUSE data from the FUSE/MAST archive can 
be found at:
	


3)  Project E-mail: Please include your Program ID!

	A friendly reminder to all users: If you are communicating with us
electronically through the fuse_support e-mail account regarding an approved
program, PLEASE remember to include your program ID in the subject line of the 
message!  This is a BIG HELP to those of us who have to track and process 
these messages.
	

4) Cycle 2 NRA soon to be released

	The finishing touches are now being added to the FUSE cycle 2 NRA.  We
expect a draft version to be released in mid March, yielding a preliminary due
date for cycle 2 proposals in mid June 2000.
