          STATEMENT FROM FLIGHT READINESS REVIEW FOR  STS-34  CONDUCTED  AT
          THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA., OCT. 2 - 3, 1989

                                 Oct. 3, 1989 - 3 p.m. EDT

               Shuttle  managers today deferred a decision on a launch date
          for STS-34 pending resolution of an anomaly involving one of  the
          two  Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) computers aboard Atlantis.   Ear-
          lier today one  of  the  computers  experienced  bit  errors  and
          analysis  is  underway  to determine the proper course of action.
          It is projected that a launch date determination can be  made  by
          the close of business on Thursday, Oct. 5, or possibly sooner.
