We have observed the methyl cyanide (CH3CN) J = 2-1 K = 0 and 1
transitions toward the cyanopolyyne peak of TMC-1 and have derived an
E/A (ortho/para)abundance ratio N(E)/N(A) = 0.75 +/- 0.10. The total
methyl cyanide column density is N(total) = 5 x 10 exp 12/sq cm toward
TMC-1, in agreement with earlier results from the J = 1-0 lines.
