The TRIUMPF experiment 497 which will measure the (weak) parity violating component of the nucleon-nucleon interaction with proton-proton quasi-elastic scattering at 223 MeV is described. The longitudinal analyzing power A{sub {ital z}}=({sigma}{sup +}{minus}{sigma}{sup {minus}})/({sigma}{sup +}+{sigma}{sup {minus}}) where {sigma}{sup +} and {sigma}{sup {minus}} are the scattering cross sections for positive and negative beam helicity, respectively, with an expected precision of {plus_minus}2{times}10{sup {minus}8}.
