The authors prove the theorem that any complete properly embedded minimal annulus that lies above a suitable downward sloping cone must have finite total curvature. As corollaries, they obtain a proof of the ``finite total curvature conjecture'', and a new proof of the ``generalized Nitsche conjecture''.
