The masses of neutron-deficient nuclei close to the proton drip line are an important input for the rapid proton-capture process modeling above 56Ni. The measurement of the masses of proton-rich nuclei with 32<~Z<~35 has been made using a direct time-of-flight technique. The masses of the nuclides 66As,68Se, and 71Br are reported for the first time, with mass excesses of -51 500(680), -53 620(1000), and -57 060(570) keV being found. The masses agree well in most cases with the Audi-Wapstra systematics.
