The emission of gravitational radiation by the recently discovered binary pulsar system will cause its orbital periodP to decrease at a rate which can now be predicted to beP -1 dP/dt= -(3 ± 2) × 10-9yr-1 if the only orbital perturbations are of general-relativistic origin. It is shown that other sources of period change are probably less important. The accuracy of this prediction as well as the possibility of its verification will improve greatly over the next few years. This is the first observation that can test general relativity beyond the post-Newtonian approximation.
