In two experiments in 1974 and 1975 which utilized a radio interferometer of 35-km baseline, the relative positions of three radio sources were monitored over a period of a month when the sun was within 10 deg of the sources. The mean gravitational deflection is 1.007 + or - 0.009 (standard error) times the value predicted by general relativity. These results exclude the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation with a scalar coupling constant of less than 23 at the 99% confidence level.
