FUSE Spectra of the nuclear region of NGC 1068 find strong OVI emission consisting of a pair of narrow and broad components. There is a gradient in the velocity field for the narrow O VI component of ~200 kms-1 from ~2'' southwest of the nucleus to ~4'' northeast. A similar pattern is also observed with the broad O VI component, with a gradient of ~3000 kms-1. These results are consistent with the HST/STIS findings and suggest a biconical structure in which the velocity field is mainly radial outflow.
