We analyzed high resolution spectra of interstellar neutral carbon absorption toward $\lambda$ Ori, 1 Sco, and $\delta$ Sco that were obtained with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several multiplets were detected within the wavelength interval 1150 to 1200 A, where most neutral carbon lines have ill-defined oscillator strength; multiplets at longer wavelengths with well-defined atomic parameters were also seen. We extracted accurate column densities and Doppler parameters from lines with precise laboratory-based f-values. These column densities and b-values were used to obtain a self-consistent set of f-values for all the observed neutral carbon lines. For many of the lines with wavelength below 1200 A, the derived f-values differ appreciably from the values quoted in the compilation by Morton (1991). The present set of f-values extends and in some cases supersedes those given in Zsargo et al. (1997), which were based on lower resolution data.
