#Abstract:
	This report describes the current design of the timing 
distribution subsystem for the ALMA telescope, including facilities
for synchronizing everything from the highest frequency local
oscillators to the slowest switching cycles.  Also considered is the
need to maintain accurate knowledge of the relationship of the
telescope's internal measure of time (``array time'') to external
measures like international atomic time.
