## Discrepancy

AS TAKEOFF POWER WAS APPLIED, THE NR 1 ENGINE EPR INDICATION STARTED DECREASING.  THE TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO THE GATE.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE ENGINE AND WARMED THE FUEL CONTROL UNIT WITH AN EXTERNAL HEAT SOURCE.  NO DISCREPANCIES WERE NOTED AND AIRCRAFT CONTINUED IN SERVICE.
