If the massive compact halo object (MACHO) fraction of the Galactic dark halo is f ~ 20% as suggested by some microlensing experiments, then about 1.2% of lensing events toward the Galactic bulge are due to MACHOs. For the 40% of these that lie nearby (D_l < 4 kpc), measurement of their distance D_l would distinguish them from bulge lenses, while measurement of their transverse velocity v_l would distinguish them from disk lenses. Hence, it would be possible to identify about 0.5%(f/20%) of all events as due to MACHOs. I show that a planned experiment using the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM PlanetQuest) could thereby detect 1 or 2 such events. This is at the margin of what is required because of a small, but non-negligible background from spheroid stars.
