We find that CDM models are consistent with both experiments, a conclusion which is at odds with some other analyses. This is partly due to our careful treatment of the temperature autocorrelation function, but also derives from a realization that the statistical conclusions depend strongly on assumptions about the prior distribution for the normalization $Q$.8 pages in Plain TeX plus 2 PS figures; revisions consist of a correction to the method of offset and gradient subtraction, changing the numerical results by about 10\%; conclusions unchanged; CfPA-93-TH-20AstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
