We consider the proposal that supersymmetry is broken at a scale ..mu.. midway between the Planck scale M and the usual weak scale. We show how a phenomenological explicitly softly broken supersymmetric theory can emerge below scale ..mu... The characteristic scale for the explicit supersymmetry breaking is of order ..cap alpha mu../sup 2//M. Identifying this with the weak scale approx.250 GeV gives ..mu..approx.10/sup 12/ GeV.
