The cross section for the reaction {sup 1}H({gamma},{pi}{sup 0}) has been measured using tagged photons in the threshold region (144.7{endash}169.3 MeV). The total cross section, augmented by angular distribution information, is used to deduce the {ital S}-wave multipole {ital E}{sub 0+}. Extrapolation to threshold yields {ital E}{sub 0+}=({minus}1.32{plus_minus}0.05{plus_minus}0.06){times}10{sup {minus}3}/{ital m}{sub {pi}}, in disagreement with earlier estimates. Suppression of {ital E}{sub 0+} near the {pi}{sup +} threshold is confirmed, in approximate agreement with recent calculations. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
