A review is presented of the experimental efforts at the Brookhaven AGS to study the nature of CP violation in the decays of kaons. Current research focuses on sensitive searches for a violation of time-reversal (T) invariance in the decay K..--> pi mu nu../sub ..mu../ as evidenced by a nonzero component of muon polarization normal to the decay plane. Results are discussed for the decay K/sub L//sup 0/..--> pi../sup -/..mu../sup +/..nu../sub ..mu../, and preliminary results for the decay K/sup +/..--> pi../sup 0/..mu../sup +/..nu../sub ..mu../ are presented.
