The observed width of spectral features in CP 0328, CP 0834, and CP 1919 are approxmately proportional to the fourth power of frequency, thus supporting the hypothesis that the slow spectral variations of these pulsars are due to interstellar scintillation. The spectral features in CP 0834, CP 1133, and CP 1919 are observed to drift systematically at rates compatible with a simple interstellar scintillation model. Pulsar velocities of ~ 100 km sec-1 are inferred from these spectral drift rates.
