In this paper we discuss the decay rate for many of the low degree p modes observed as 5 minute oscillations of the sun. This report is an expanded version of the presentation at Snowmass. These theoretical results use the completely nonadiabatic linear theory of Saio and Cox (1980). Our solar model is based on the evolution results of Christensen-Dalsbgaard (1982). Equation of state and opacity data come from the Los Alamos Opacity Library of Huebner, Merts, Magee, and Argo (1977). We compute rates for modes ranging from radial (l = 0) to the nonradial ones with l = 5 for overtones 10 through 28.
