Evidence for the ..cap alpha.. decay of the giant quadrupole resonance is reported. Measurements of the reaction /sup 238/U(e,e',..cap alpha..) /sup 234/Th in the region 9--24 MeV are presented. The results imply that the reaction goes dominantly through E2 absorption. The amount of E2 strength used by the ..cap alpha.. emission channel exhausts 50% of the isoscalar energy-weighted sum rule.
