We have measured a parity-violating asymmetry in the total cross section for 6 GeV/c polarized protons on a water target. The asymmetry A/sub L/ = (sigma/sub +/ /sup -/sigma/sub -/)/(sigma/sub +/ + sigma/sub -/), defined as the fractional difference of the total cross sections for positive and negative helicity protons on an unpolarized target, was found to have the value A/sub L/ = (2.65 +- 0.60) x 10/sup -6/. The quoted error includes both statistical and systematic contributions.
