Total and differential cross sections are presented for proton-antiproton annihilation into π+π− and K+K− at six laboratory momenta between 686 and 1098 MeV/c. The two-pion final state displays moderate energy dependence in its differential cross section, but shows no evidence of any direct-channel resonances. In contrast, the two-kaon final state exhibits some behavior in the total and differential cross section suggestive of a possible direct-channel effect between 800 and 1000 MeV/c.
