We have observed a decrease in the the hard X-ray flux (above 20 keV) from the black hole binary GRO J1655-40, of about a factor of two (in four days), using INTEGRAL. This object has been observed for ~12 ksec approximately every 3 days since 17 Feb 2005 during the INTEGRAL Galactic Bulge Monitoring observations ( ATel #438 ). In the latest observation, on MJD 53444.2 (15 March 2005), the measured flux in the ISGRI instrument was ~18 and ~5 cps in the 20--60 and 60--150 keV bands respectively.
