     Due to the strong response from users indicating the value
of the National Weather Summary, we have agreed to continue this
summary, but at a reduced level of one daily issuance until the
end of Fiscal Year (FY) 1995 (September 30, 1995).  Effective
Juanuary 8, 1995, the time is issuance will be changed from 9
p.m. central time to 8 p.m. central time to acommodate more
users.

     The National Weather Summary, issued by the National Severe
Storms Forecast Center, has a NWWS header of MKCNWX1 and a FOS
header of ABUS1 KWBC. 

     Given current budget projections, we will have to
discontinue the National Weather Summary after September 30,
1995.
