The /sup 238/U(e, e'f) cross section was measured for excitations between 5 and 11.7 MeV. The sum of the E2 and E0 strength functions was extracted with the aid of available /sup 238/U(..gamma..,f) data. The present results show that the E2/E0 strength in the fission channel is spread almost uniformly from 7 to 11.7 MeV. The E2/E0 strength that is found in the fission channel corresponds to 10% of the isoscalar E2 sum rule; if the fission probability is 0.22, this energy region contains 45% of this sum.
