We study the S-matrix elements of the gauge invariant operators correspondingto on-shell closed strings, in open string field theory. In particular, wecalculate the tree level S-matrix element of two ${\it arbitrary}$ closedstrings, and the S-matrix element of one closed string and two open strings. Bymapping the world-sheet of these amplitudes to the upper half $z$-plane, and byevaluating explicitly the correlators in the ghost part, we show that theseS-matrix elements are ${\it exactly}$ identical to the corresponding disk levelS-matrix elements in perturbative string theory.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figures, Latex file; the version appears in JHE
