I present the case for studying the nature of short-range internucleon interactions with electron-scattering experiments on few-body nuclear targets. I first review what electron-scattering studies have unearthed about the nature of the interactions between nucleons in nuclei at small separation. Special consideration is given to a couple of recent experiments. The results essentially serve to construct a roadmap for future studies in this area. The related experimental program at Jefferson Lab is presented, along with suggestions for future theoretical work.
