Analyses of solar-wind observations from mid-1964 through 1973 confirm the earlier results reported by Intriligator (1974) that there were statistically significant variations in the solar wind in 1968 and 1969, years of solar maximum. These variations were in phase with the solar cycle and consistent with a solar-cycle variation in the solar wind. High-speed stream parameters show that the number of high-speed streams in the solar wind in 1968 and 1969 and the total duration (in days) of high-speed streams in 1968 were considerably more than the predicted yearly average, and in 1965 and 1972 considerably less. Histograms of solar-wind speed from 1964 through 1973 indicate that in 1968 there was the highest percentage of elevated solar-wind speeds, and in 1965 and 1972 the lowest. Studies by others confirm these results, although their authors did not indicate this fact. The duration of the streams and the histograms for 1973 may imply a shifting in the primary stream source.
