We propose to supplement our existing ISO observations of 3 LINERs
with similar data for 3 more LINERs. Our original program aims to
combine ISO data with existing multiwavelength (X-ray, UV, optical, radio)
data for these objects in order to study the excitation mechanisms
of LINERs and their connection (if any) to AGNs. Our original sample
was cut down due to the lower ISO sensitivity. Preliminary analysis of the
data we have received shows that our observing strategy allows us to
detect fine-structure lines in the target galaxies. The proposed
observations will restore the capability to achieve the full scientific goals
of our program.
