As part of an ongoing effort to observe high energy \gamma -ray blazars with VLBI , we have produced 8 and 2 GHz VLBI images , at ten epochs spanning the years 1988 to 1996 , of the quasar 1156+295 .
The VLBI data have been taken from the Washington VLBI correlator ’ s geodetic database .
We have detected four components and have measured their apparent speeds to be 8.8 \pm 2.3 , 5.3 \pm 1.1 , 5.5 \pm 0.9 , and 3.5 \pm 1.2 h ^ { -1 } c from the outermost component inwards .
( H _ { 0 } = 100 h km s ^ { -1 } Mpc ^ { -1 } , q _ { 0 } =0.5 throughout paper ) .
These velocities contradict a previously published very high superluminal velocity of 26 h ^ { -1 } c for this source .
