Absorption oscillator strengths have been determined from high-resolution spectra in the 967-972 \AA region of three CO isotopomers for transitions to the Rydberg levels 4{\it p$\pi$}(0), 3{\it d$\pi$}(1) and 4{\it p$\sigma$}(0), as well as to the mixed {\it E(6)} level recently characterized by Eidelsberg et al. (2004). Synchrotron radiation from the Super-ACO electron storage ring at Orsay (LURE) was used as a light source. Oscillator strengths were extracted from the recorded spectra by least-squares fitting of the experimental profiles with synthetic spectra taking into account the homogeneous and heterogeneous interactions of the four levels. Column densities were derived from fits to the 3{\it p$\pi$}(0) absorption band whose oscillator strength is well established. These are the first reported measurements for $^{13}$C$^{18}$O. For $^{12}$C$^{16}$O, our results are consistent with the larger values obtained in the most recent laboratory and astronomical studies.
