  We report a new Fabry-Perot search for Halpha emission from the intergalactic
cloud HI 1225+01 in an attempt to measure the low redshift ionizing background
radiation. We set a new 2 sigma upper limit on Halpha emission of 8 mR (5 x
10^{-20} ergs cm^{-2} s^{-1} arcsec^{-2}). Conversion of this limit to limits
on the strength of the ionizing background requires knowledge of the ratio of
the projected to total surface area of this cloud, which is uncertain. We
discuss the plausible range of this ratio, and within this range find that the
strength of the ionizing backround is in the lower range of, but consistent
with, previous observational and theoretical estimates.
