We report a measurement of the x{sub F} and P{sub T}{lambda}{sup 0} polarization dependence; {lambda}{sup 0}'s were produced in the specific channels: pp{yields}p{lambda}{sup 0}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, pp{yields}p{lambda}{sup 0}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, pp{yields}p{lambda}{sup 0}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, and pp{yields}p{lambda}{sup 0}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} with 27.5 GeV/c protons incident on a liquid hydrogen target. We find that {lambda}{sup 0} polarization is independent of the final state.
