Bill,
	I hope the following information meets your need:

FROM MIL-S-13949/4D (16 August 1993):
MILITARY SPECIFICATION SHEET FOR GF BASE MATERIAL (I.E. FR4)

Dimensional Stability (for base material thicknesses less than .020 inch (0.51mm)).

	After bake:  Class A, 0.00075 inch/inch (0.00075 mm/mm) maximum;
		    Class B, 0.00050 inch/inch (0.0005 mm/mm) maximum

	Same values are given for the 'after stress' condition.

Typical (nominal) values given in Laminate Suppliers' Product Data Sheets are:

< .0030 in/in (for thin cores <= .028"
< .0035 in/in (for thicker cores between .028" and .062")
