Results are presented from a partial wave analysis of a sample of centrally produced mesons in the reaction pp{yields}p{sub slow}(K{sub s}K{sub s})p{sub fast}, with 800 GeV/c protons incident on a liquid hydrogen target. The meson system is found to be predominantly S-wave in the mass range between K{sub s}K{sub s} threshold and 1.58 GeV/c{sup 2}. The f{sub 0}(1500) is clearly observed in this region. Above 1.58 GeV/c{sup 2} two solutions are possible, one with mainly S-wave and another with mainly D-wave. This ambiguity prevents a unique determination of the spin of the f{sub J}(1710) meson.
