The differential elastic p-p scattering cross section was measured at 6 GeV/c at the Argonne ZGS in the range P/sup 2//sub perpendicular to/ = 0.6 ..-->.. 1.0 (GeV/c)/sup 2/ using a polarized target and a polarized beam. One simultaneously measured the polarization of the recoil protons with a well calibrated carbon target polarimeter. All three polarizations were measured perpendicular to the horizontal scattering plane. Results indicate that P and T invariances are both obeyed to good precision even at large P/sup 2//sub perpendicular to/. The relative magnitudes of the 8 nonzero pure 4-spin transversity cross sections are quite different and it was found that the double-flip cross sections are nonzero.
