We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized {sup 3}He gas target. The asymmetry is measured at kinematics sensitive to the transverse-longitudinal response function {ital R}{sub {ital T}{ital L}}({ital Q}{sup 2},{omega}). The value of the neutron electric form factor {ital G}{sub {ital E}}{sup {ital n}}({ital Q}{sup 2}=0.16 (GeV/{ital c}{sup 2}))=+0.070{plus minus}0.100{plus minus}0.035 is extracted from the asymmetry using a Faddeev calculation of the {sup 3}He wave function.
