The heliosphere is an essentially three-dimensional structure formed by the interaction of the solar-wind and interstellar plasmas. Both flows are nonuniform and the interstellar magnetic field acts to further de- symmetrize the heliosphere via heliopause tilt and rotation. We present the first progress report from the project currently underway at IGPP/UCR to develop a fully three-dimensional model of cosmic-ray propagation through the global heliosphere. The model includes drift and diffusive spatial transport as well as adiabatic acceleration or cooling in compressive or expanding plasma flows. Test result sets are compiled for the simplest plasma topology corresponding to solar minimum conditions with a flat neutral sheet. Emphasis is placed on the role of the inner heliosheath as the region responsible for the bulk of the total heliospheric modulation.
