The spatial intensity gradients of 150-380 MeV/n galactic cosmic ray He and 30-60 MeV/n H and He are studied over the 1996-2001.3 time period using data from the Goddard MED experiment on IMP 8, the COSPIN/KET telescope on Ulysses and the CRS experiment on Voyagers 1 and 2. This combination provides information on the radial intensity gradients in the inner solar system over the solar minimum period of cycle 22 as well as latitudinal gradients since Ulysses has just completed its slow latitudinal scan to 80º S. With the onset of significant solar activity, the intensity gradients of 30-60 MeV/n H and He become very small as their Compton Getting factor approaches - 0 at low energies. However the radial intensity gradient, Gr, of galactic cosmic ray (GCR) He, shows relatively small variation over the period 1996-2000.5 at a mean radial distance of 3 AU, consistent with the values predicted by Fujii and McDonald (1997) over the complete 1974-1996 period using the IMP/Pioneer/Voyager data and a radial dependence of the form G0rα . After 2000.5 the heliolatitude of Ulysses begins to change at a more rapid rate and can be used to determine the latitudinal gradient over the slow latitudinal scan. Comparisons of the modulation levels at 1AU and at Ulysses with those in the distant heliosphere out to 80AU indicate much larger changes in the inner heliosphere than observed beyond ~60AU.
