We investigate the connection between the Breit and infinite momentum frames and show that when the nucleon matrix element of the time component of the electromagnetic current, which yields G{sub E} in the Breit frame, is boosted to the infinite momentum (or light-front) frame, the quantity F{sub 1} is obtained.
