We report on X-ray observations obtained with the SWIFT-XRT of the neutron star transient 4U1608-522. The source recently went into outburst (ATel #851). Our spectral fits were made using XSPEC v12 on archival Swift/XRT data (observation ID 00030791001). The observation was begun on July 11, 2006 at 21:08:54 UT. Its duration was 989.4s, after standard screening. Our first fit was a simple power-law, and resulted in spectral index 1.7 (+/- 0.05) and an unabsorbed flux (0.5 - 10.0 keV) of 1.9 (+/- 0.1) *10^-9 erg cm^-2 s^-1.
