RXTE PCA scans of the new millisecond pulsar HETE J1900.1-2455 (Morgan et al., ATEL #523) were performed on Jun 17 starting at 09:48 UT. The best fit position is R.A. = 19h 00m 13s, Decl. = -24d 54m 44s (J2000), with a systematic uncertainty radius of approximately 1 arcminute. This position is indeed consistent with the HETE burster (Vanderspek et al. ATEL #516), as noted by Morgan et al. (ATEL #523). The flux was approximately 23 mCrab.
