The authors have made astrometric interferometer observations of PSR 1937+21 and PSR 1913+16 at the VLA in the FK4 B1950.0 reference frame with positional accuracy of ±0.05arcsec and ±0.15arcsec, respectively. After removing the E terms of aberration, they compare these positions with ones obtained from pulse-timing observations, which are accurate to ±0.001arcsec and ±0.003arcsec, respectively, in the reference frame of solar system ephemerides. The timing position of PSR 1937+21 agrees to within 0.07arcsec(1.3σ) of the VLA position; comparison of the same observations in the J2000.0 reference frame reduces the discrepancy to 0.01arcsec. The result for PSR 1913+16 stengthens the conclusion of Elliot et al. (1980) that a faint star near the pulsar is not the orbiting companion.
