Absolute measurements of the dependence of solar rotation rate upon latitude were made during the period June 17-20, 1977. The solar potassium line at 7699 A was observed by using an atomic-beam resonance scattering apparatus. The measured sidereal equatorial rotation rate is 13.5 + or - 0.5 deg day. The results are in agreement with those of Howard and Harvey (1970). This technique will be used in a long-term program to monitor the equatorial rotation rate.
