We analyze attosecond pulse carrier envelope phase (CEP) effects on ionized electron wave packet momentum distributions produced by attosecond pulses having durations comparable to those obtained by G. Sansone et al. [Science 314, 443 (2006)]. The onset of significant CEP effects is predicted to occur for attosecond pulse field strengths close to those possible with current experimental capabilities, particularly for the cases in which there is also an IR laser pulse present.
