Suppose that Φ:X→ Y is a morphism from a 3 fold to a surface (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero). We prove that there exist sequences of blowups of nonsingular subvarieties X1→ X and Y1→ Y such that the morphism Φ1:X1→ Y1 is a ``Monomial Morphism''. As a corollary, we show that we can make Φ1 a toroidal morphism.
