For SU(2) x U(1) gauge theory, starting with an arbitrary left- and right-handed structure for quarks and leptons, as well as an arbitrary Higgs sector, we have shown that the various data on neutrino scattering off hadrons and leptons and the universality of charged current interactions strongly suggest the uniqueness of the minimal Weinberg-Salam model. An extension of the analysis to the left-right--symmetric SU/sub L/(2) x SU/sub R/(2) x U(1) gauge theory is also presented.
