Inclusive electron-scattering cross sections have been measured for {sup 56}Fe in the quasielastic region at electron energies between 0.9 and 4.3 GeV, at scattering angles of 15{degree} and 85{degree}. Longitudinal and transverse response functions at a {ital q} of 1.14 GeV/{ital c} have been extracted using a Rosenbluth separation. The experimental Coulomb sum has been obtained with aid of an extrapolation. The longitudinal response function, after correction for Coulomb distortion, is lower than quasifree-scattering-model predictions at the quasielastic peak and on the high-{omega} side.
