The decay with strip width Y is fitted to exp[- a (Y/ l)**2/12] where l is the Landau length, and a is approximately 1.0. This rate is exponentially LARGER than the electron tunneling rate and can be interpreted by analogy to a superfluid vortex tunneling problem. Experimental implications include the ``law of corresponding states'', periodicity of Aharonov-Bohm resistance oscillations and charge measurements by quantum shot noise.5 pages, 3 Postscript Figures, uses epsf and psfigMesoscale and Nanoscale Physicstext
