The evidence for the isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR) or the {open_quotes}squeezing mode{close_quotes} has been rather sparse so far. However, indications for this resonance have been reported in very forward inelastic proton and {alpha} scattering experiments on {sup 208}Pb and {sup 144}Sm. Unambiguous identification of the ISGDR is only possible at angles near 0{degrees} because of the significant difference of resonance cross sections at these angles. The authors have made ({alpha},{alpha}{prime}) measurements at the IUCF K600 spectrometer at very small angles (including 0{degrees}) to study the ISGDR in {sup 208}Pb. Data has been obtained at 0{degrees}- 2{degrees} as well as between 4{degrees} and 10{degrees}. A broad bump, presumably consisting of the ISGDR and the HEOR, is visible above background in their spectra. They are presently in the process of disentangling the two resonances using the {open_quotes}difference-of-spectra{close_quotes} technique previously used in separating the L=0 and L=2 resonances. Results of this analysis as well as data on {sup 90}Zr and {sup 120}Sn will be presented.
