An investigation is conducted regarding the existence of measurable transverse diffusive transport for 0.3- to 0.5 MeV protons. The study focuses on 1-hour averaged proton anisotropy data measured by detectors on board the earth-orbiting IMP 7 and 8 spacecraft. The data is restricted to nonimpulsive energetic particle events which are not explicitly associated with solar flares. It is established to within the limits of the measurements using 1-hour averages, that in nonimpulsive 0.3- to 0.5-MeV proton events as measured in the Newtonian inertial frame of the solar system, the anisotropy is predominantly transverse to the magnetic field and most hourly averages of the transverse component are essentially due to the particles' E x B drift.
