This first set of results includes radial velocities for 71 carbon stars, with an individual precision of +/- 2-5 km/s. The mean heliocentric velocity of the stars (excluding one very high velocity star) is 149.3+/-3.0 km/s with a velocity dispersion of 25.2 +/- 2.1 km/s. These values drop to 145.5+/-2.7 km/s and 20.6+/-1.9 km/s respectively, if we exclude the stars belonging to the Outer Wing. The velocity distribution does not show the multiple peaks seen in some samples of Population I objects. The mass of the SMC as inferred from the above velocity dispersion (without the outer Wing stars) is ~= 1.2~10^9M_{\odot}. Tables 1a and 1b are available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp 130.79.128.5 or http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/abstract.html</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
