The Space Interferometry Mission will return unprecedented astrometric precision approaching 1 microarcsecond, enabling the detection of planets with masses few times the mass of the Earth around the nearest stars. To achieve such precision in narrow angle mode, SIM requires an exquisitely stable reference frame established by distant background stars, all within 1 degree of each target star. We present precise Keck radial velocity measurements of SIM reference stars and current status of SIM's search for extrasolar terrestrial planets.
