An estimate of quark mass parameters suitable for the study of chiral-symmetry-breaking effects is made using exact Goldberger-Treiman relations for the Goldstone bosons which appear in the Weinberg-Salam theory when the gauge coupling is set to zero. The numbers obtained are m/sub u/=13.7 +- 5.9 MeV, m/sub d/=24.7 +- 12.9 MeV, and m/sub s/=497 +- 299 MeV. Consistency of the various Goldberger-Treiman relations with current-algebra mass ratios is discussed. The relationship of these parameters to those obtained in previous evaluations is discussed.
