A series of high-resolution $(0.005cm-1)$ spectra of pure ozone have been recorded at room temperature using the Fourier transform spectrometer at the National Solar Observatory on Kitt Peak. Each spectrum covers the entire region from $1100cm-1$ to $2600cm-1$ and has a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 150:1. Initial analyses of these spectra in the $5\mu m$ region have resulted in intensities for a number of lines in the $\nu 1+\nu 3,2\nu 3$, and $\nu 1+\nu 2+\nu 3-\nu 2$ bands, as well as self-broadened halfwidths in the $\nu 1+\nu 3$ bands. These preliminary reults are in good agreement with previous measurements and calculations.
