The indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling between Cu nuclei in the CuO{sub 2} planes of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}}, deduced from {sup 63}Cu transverse relaxation, is shown to yield information about the wave-vector dependence of the real part of the planar Cu static electron-spin susceptibility. The coupling is evaluated with no adjustable parameters using the antiferromagnetic Fermi-liquid theory of Millis, Monien, and Pines, providing a new test of that model. At 100 K, the theoretical relaxation time is 190{plus minus}75 {mu}sec versus the experimental 130{plus minus}10 {mu}sec.
