The XMM Newton observatory observed the anomalous X-ray pulsar CXO J167410.2-455216 (ATEL #893, #894, #896, #901) on 2006 Sept 16 at 18:58 UT for 45 ks, only 4.3 days before a 20 msec burst observed with the Burst Alert Telescope on Swift (Krimm et al. GCN #5581) apparently initiated an outburst from the source. The pulsar was detected at a flux of 1.5e-13 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.5-8.0 keV), which was 50% below the discovery value in 2006 (Muno et al.
