1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 4833 (Crane, Augmentation Cycle 3 High Spectrum of 
       of the Jet in 3C264)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make six images of the newly
       discovered jet in galaxy 3C264 (aka, NGC-3862). The first three used
       the ultraviolet prism, the next two were polarization images, and
       the last was a normal image. Polarization and spectral observations
       were made along the 0.6 arcsecond length  of the jet. They all were
       received and displayed. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.2 Completed WFC 4929 (WF/PC Cycle 2 : Improved Dark Calibration)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two dark calibration images.
       Both images were received and displayed. They both were reported to
       be okay. 

   1.3 Completed FGS 4775 (Exposure time Calibration in High Background 
       Fields)

       The FGS were used to make astrometric observations of stars in front
       of galaxy NGC-6303. The objective of these observations was to
       determine the minimum observing time needed for doing transfer mode
       astrometry of stars which are superposed against a bright
       background. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed FOC/96 4846 (High Resolution Observations of Cataclysmic 
       Variables: Cycle 3)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make two observations of
       cataclysmic variable star KM22. Both images were received and
       displayed. The first image had some roll-over in the core of the
       target star's point spread function. 

   1.5 Completed FOC/96 4804 (UV Imaging of Nearby Galaxies with FOC/96)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make ultraviolet images of
       nearby galaxy UGC-8102. They were ten minute exposures, and used
       filter F220W. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       problems were reported. 

   1.6 Completed FOC/96 3801 (Search for QSOs Suitable for Subsequent 
       Observations of He II)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make ultraviolet images of
       quasar 1631+373 to identify if the QSO has sufficient flux levels
       for subsequent observations using the GHRS and FOS. The OSS
       monitored the observations, and no problems were reported. 

   1.7 Completed FOS/BL 4054 (Probing Nuclear Regions of the Seyfert 
       Galaxy NGC-5548)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make observations of the
       nuclear regions of galaxy NGC-5548. This was to study time
       variations in its continuum and emission in Helium II and Carbon IV.
       The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the data quality. No
       problems were reported. 

   1.8 Completed WFC 3917 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle 2 Part 1)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make some high latitude medium
       deep sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime
       science observations. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no problems were reported.
