The inelastic scattering of 375 MeV {sup 17}O projectiles was used to study the giant resonance region in {sup 238}U. The energy, width, and strength of the giant quadrupole resonance (GQR) were extracted from singles spectra and fission probabilities were deduced from singles and coincidence data. Angular correlations between fission fragments and inelastically scattered particles were measured to search for evidence of {ital K} conservation in the fission decay of the GQR.
