The [sup 4]He([ital e],[ital e][prime][ital p])[sup 3]H reaction has been measured at a missing momentum of 265 MeV/[ital c]. Data were taken to determine the [ital R][sub [ital L]], [ital R][sub [ital T]], and [ital R][sub [ital L][ital T]] response functions. The extracted response functions show substantial differences from a microscopic calculation that includes the plane wave impulse approximation, final state interactions, and meson exchange currents, but agree much better with a calculation that includes orthogonality corrections, short range correlations, and final state interactions.
