We present ultraviolet spectra of the z=0.0129 Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 766. For wavelengths extending from ~1150-3100 Å we have obtained low spectral resolution, ~1-2 Å, observations with HST/STIS. Our STIS spectrum of Mrk 766 exhibits emission from Lyman α , NV λ 1240, CIVλ 1549, CIII]λ 1909, and MgII λ 2800. We will present results for fits to an intrinsic absorber and discuss our results in the context of the standard warm absorber model and an alternative model presented by Branduardi-Raymont et al. (2001) for the XMM-Newton X-ray observations along this line of sight. Support for these observations was provided by contract NAS5-30403.
