It is well known that any closed oriented 3-manifold can be obtained by surgery on a framed link in S3. This work describes a function F of framed links in S3 and it is proven that F consistently defines an invariant, lamda (l), of closed oriented 3-manifolds. l is then expressed in terms of previously known invariants of 3-manifolds.
