Dear Collaborators,

We have received a response from PRL which was quite positive.  Two of
the referees made some constructive suggestions for changes, and we
have modified the manuscript accordingly.  Attached to this email,
please find three documents.  One, labeled GEn_update.pdf, is the
updated manuscript, with all sentences in the text that have been
changed highlighted in blue.  The second, Response_to_ed.txt,  is,
as the name suggests, the text we have prepared to send back in an
email to the editors.  Finally, we also include a document containing
the response from prl (From_editor.txt).

We note that since the time we submitted our paper to prl and the
arXiv, we discovered a 3% (relative) error in our target polarimetry.
Half of this was a bug in a target-polarimetry code, and the other
half was due to a systematic that, in previous He-3 experiments, was
negligible, but because of the high performance of the GEN target,
became large enough (~1.5%) to worry about.  We have made the
appropriate adjustments to the results that appear in the abstract and
the tables, and have also noted this in the attached response to the
editors.  We also needed to increase the target polarimetry error from
4% to 4.7%, which has very little effect on our overall error.

Please send any comments over the next week.  We would like to
resubmit on Friday, October 29th.

Best regards,

Bogdan, Gordon, Nilanga and Seamus
