In a continuing effort to improve the quality of measurements for extracting the neutron electronic form factor ({ital G}{sup {ital n}}{sub {ital E}}) from the {sup 2}{ital H} ({ital {rvec e}},{ital e}{prime}{ital {rvec n}}){sup 1}{ital H} reaction, one of us (RM) proposed a new configuration for a neutron polarimeter (NPOL) to measure {ital G}{sup {ital n}}{sub {ital E}} from the {sup 2}{ital H} ({ital {rvec e}},{ital e}{prime}{ital {rvec n}}){sup 1}{ital H} reaction in Bates E89-04 and CEBAF E93-038. Substantially higher count rates with this new neutron polarimeter reduce the uncertainties in {ital G}{sup {ital n}}{sub {ital E}}. A description of the new NPOL is given here followed by an outline of the experiment with projections of uncertainties in {ital G}{sup {ital n}}{sub {ital E}}.
