The position of the R(0), R(1), and R(2) lines of the 3874-Å band of interstellar CN in the spectrum of the star ζ Ophiuchi were scanned with a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The Doppler width (full width at half-maximum) of the R(0) line is 28 mÅ. At the expected position of the R(2) line an absorption feature was found with an equivalent width of 0.077 +/- 0.055 mÅ which implies a temperature of 2.9+3.4-2.1 K for the cosmic background radiation at 1.32 mm. A conservative interpretation of the data is simply to give an upper limit (2σ) of 3.8 K to this temperature.
