A preliminary experimental determination by Hill, Bos, and Goode of the interior rotation of the sun leads to a nonzero value for the quadrupole moment coefficient J2. This produces a deviation of 1.6% from Einstein's prediction of the precession of the perihelion of Mercury. A nonsymmetric gravitational theory can fit the measured precession with this J2 and all other solar-system relativity experiments for one value of a post-Newtonian parameter in the theory. A prediction is made for the perihelion precession of Icarus.
