This work was supported by NASA's Planetary Astronomy Program under RTOP 344-32-30-07 (M.J.M.) and RTOP 344-32-98 (M.A.D.); the NSF Research at Undergraduate Institutions program no. 0407052 (K.M.S.), the National Research Council (G.L.V., a resident research associate), and the NASA Origins of Solar Systems program (G.A.B.). Our data were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory, which is operated as a scientific partnership among the California Institute of Technology, the University of California, and NASA. The Observatory was made possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. 9P/ Tempel 1 data obtained on 4 July are available via the Keck Observatory Archive (http://www2.keck.hawaii. edu/science/deepimpact/KeckDeepImpact.html).
