Numerous infrared Spectroscopic observations were obtained of eight AGB field M giants that have multiple periods of light variability. For six of the eight giants we found radial-velocity periods that confirm the long-period light variability. Although we consider the possibility that the velocity variations result from orbital motion, we conclude that the long-period velocity changes in most, if not all of our sample stars, likely result from pulsation rather than duplicity.
