A failure to detect CO(1-0) absorption from the hypothesized
 molecular torus in Cygnus A could be due to the high rotation
 temperature resulting from a strong compact radio source
 (Barvainis and Antonucci, AJ 107,#4, 1291). In that case,
 absorption should be seen for high J transitions, e.g. J=19-18,
 lambda = 145.0 micron.  The determination of the linewidth could
 constrain the size of torus.
