An analysis of data on cosmic-ray electrons in the energy range 1-10 GeV returned by the University of Chicago instrument on the ISEE 3/ICE spacecraft during the time interval 1978-1989 has been completed. When combined with other results, these new data indicate that the solar modulation of these electrons is remarkably different from that of nuclei of similar rigidity. Most notably, the electrons reach a much higher flux level in 1987 than in 1977 in distinction to nuclei which typically attain similar flux levels at successive solar minima. No clear understanding of this behavior emerges from current models of the charge sign dependence of solar modulation. It is suggested that this apparent lack of symmetry may indicate a dynamical role of cosmic rays in the modulation process.
