The positions of compact radio sources were determined from very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) using NASA-JPL stations of the Deep Space Network. The displacement in the right-ascension origin and the uncertainty in this value are least when the present results are compared with each of the two VLBI catalogs, namely, the provisional results of Faneslow (1973), 0.005 + or - 0.005 sec, and those of Clark et al. (1976), -0.009 + or - 0.006 sec. The mean estimated error along the right-ascension axis is 0.8 arcsec. For sources with declinations of at least + or - 5 deg, the mean estimated error in declination is 0.6 arcsec. However, for comparisons with the VLBI catalogs, the rms scatter about the mean difference in right ascension is rather less than 0.5 arcsec. Evidence for structure in some sources is discussed, and it is suggested that lunar occultation observation of 1504-167 may reveal class D2 structure.
