         Computations by B. G. Marsden and G. V. Williams show that the above
    orbital elements yield a NOMINAL approach distance to the earth of 0.00038
    AU on 2027 Aug. 7.42 UT.  The MINIMUM POSSIBLE distance on that day is 0.00026
    AU.  A generous estimate of the MAXIMUM miss distance on that day is 0.010 AU,
    corresponding to a temporal uncertainty of +/- 0.6 day, significantly down
    from the 0.2 AU and +/- 12 days of the MPC 34039 orbit.  This result therefore
    means that not only the general but many of the specific conclusions of Milani
    et al. (http://copernico.dm.unipi.it/~milani/resret/; Astron. Astrophys.
    Letters, in press) are still valid.  Additional observations during the next
    several months will be useful, because there are no other reasonable
    observing opportunities until at least 2004.
