We report lifetimes, branching fractions, and the resulting oscillator strengths for transitions within the P II multiplet (3s23p2 3P-3s23p4s 3Po) at 1154 Å. These beam-foil measurements represent the most comprehensive and precise set currently available experimentally. Comparison with earlier experimental and theoretical results is very good. Since Morton's most recent compilation is based on the earlier body of results, phosphorus abundances for interstellar material in our Galaxy and beyond derived from λ1154 do not require any revision.
