Very high resolution (less than 0.2 milli-arcsec) VLBI hybrid maps of the BL Lacertae object AO 0235 + 164 have been produced at a wavelength of 1.3 cm. These maps show the object's radio structure to be dominated by a strong, nearly unresolved core. The small angular size of this core, combined with previous X-ray observations, implies that bulk relativistic motion is occurring in the core. In addition, a weak component is detected 0.7 milli-arcsec from the core in position angle + 7 deg. This position angle is similar to that of the weak extensions seen by other investigators at lower frequencies, although there appears to be a tendency for the position angles to be larger at lower frequencies. The possible relation between the structure seen in the hybrid maps and the variable H I absorption seen at 932 MHz is discussed.
