Recent theoretical work on foreshock Langmuir wave generation has emphasized the importance of proximity to the solar wind/electron foreshock boundary. Waves generated near the boundary decouple quickly from the tenuous beam and evolve by wave-wave interactions; deeper in the foreshock, the effect of damping and beam bunching should be more pronounced. We compare observed electron distributions and wave intensities to study the effect of various cutoff distributions. The distribution of wave amplitudes is consistent with stochastic growth theory which implies that the distribution function should only be observed as unstable very infrequently.
