Inclusive electron scattering cross sections for {sup 3,4}He have been measured in the quasielastic region at electron energies between 0.9 and 4.3 GeV, and scattering angles of 15{degree} and 85{degree}. Longitudinal ({ital R}{sub {ital L}}) and transverse ({ital R}{sub {ital T}}) response functions have been extracted using a Rosenbluth separation at constant {vert bar}{bold q}{vert bar} of 1.050 GeV/{ital c}. The ratio of the longitudinal to the transverse reduced response functions in the negative {ital y} region reaches unity.
