Measurements of the polarization observables for [sup 3]He([ital p],[ital p])[sup 3]He elastic scattering have been obtained using a polarized proton beam in conjunction with polarized and unpolarized [sup 3]He targets. An unpolarized target was used to make high precision measurements of the proton analyzing power [ital A][sub [ital y]0] at the energies of 4.01, 5.54, 7.03, 8.52, and 10.1 MeV. A total of 135 data points were obtained with accuracies of typically [plus minus]0.005 or better. A newly developed polarized [sup 3]He target was then used to make measurements of the [sup 3]He analyzing power [ital A][sub 0[ital y]], and the spin correlation coefficient [ital A][sub [ital y][ital y]] at the same five energies. A total of 48 data points were obtained for each observable. Finally, measuremments of the spin correlation coefficients [ital A][sub [ital x][ital x]], [ital A][sub [ital x][ital z]], A[sub zx], and [ital A][sub [ital z][ital z]] were made at the single energy of 5.54 MeV. The accuracy of the spin-correlation and [sup 3]He analyzing power measurements is typically on the order [plus minus]0.01--0.03.
