Abstract: This paper had no abstract originally. A second-order symplectic integration algorithm for guiding center motion is presented. The algorithm is based on the Poincar\'e (mid-point) generating function.<br />Comment: This paper was originally sent to Jim Rome of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1989 as part of a collaboration with him on guiding center modeling for transport. Paper put on Arxiv in September, 2018, so that it could be cited
