The ground state proton decays of {sup 65}As and {sup 69}Br have been searched for in {sup 28}Si and {sup 32}S bombardments of a natural calcium target. These studies employed a newly developed rapidly rotating recoil-catcher wheel and a low-energy particle-identification telescope. No proton groups that could be assigned to either of these nuclides were observed. The minimum detectable limits indicate that {sup 65}As and {sup 69}Br either decay predominantly by beta emission or have half-lives less than 100 {mu}s. The overall evidence strongly indicates that {sup 65}As predominantly beta decays.
