By December 2001, the Voyager 1 (V1) spacecraft will be at 83.1 AU and 33.8o North heliographic latitude and Voyager 2 (V2) will be at 65.7 AU and 23.1o South. At that time, the reversal of the Sun's magnetic field, which was complete at the Sun by the beginning of 2001, should be complete in the vicinity of the Voyager spacecraft. The current sheet should still be highly inclined in the outer heliosphere and the anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) intensities should be near their minimum values. By comparing the intensities of ACRs at V1 and V2 we will infer the magnitude and rigidity dependence of the particle mean free path in the outer heliosphere at solar maximum and compare the results with those obtained during the previous solar maximum period in 1990-91. This work was supported by NASA under contract NAS7-1407.
