S>It is shown that the impulse approximation cross section for backward ed yields enp at large momentum transfer near threshold is very much smalIer than the empirical data. It is found that the conventional ''Jankus theory'' is inadequate at large momentum transfer because of the neglect of the /sup 3/D/sub 1/ component of the deuteron state. By taking into account the simplest meson exchange currents of pionic range, the theoretical prediction of the cross section comes into reasonable agreement with the existing data.
