The ORELA experiment on the neutron charge radius has been reevaluated. The neutron transmission of liquid thorogenic {sup 208} Pb with the neutron time-of-flight method in the neutron energy range from 0.08 to 800 eV was measured. Additional studies on condensed matter effects for liquid Bi and liquid Pb have provided more accurate corrections resulting in smaller systematic uncertainties for the neutron-electron scattering length b{sub ne}. We have also reevaluated the transmission data on liquid Bi of Melkonian and co-workers. We have obtained values of b{sub ne}=({minus}1.33{plus_minus}0.027{plus_minus}0.03){times}10{sup {minus}3 }fm for {sup 208} Pb and b{sub ne}=({minus}1.44{plus_minus}0.033{plus_minus}0.06){times}10{sup {minus}3}fm for {sup 209} Bi where for both results the two uncertainties denote the statistical and the systematic uncertainty, respectively. The results for {sup 208}Pb and {sup 209}Bi were found to be in good agreement. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
