    As part of a program to identify potential contributors to the X-ray 
    background with the necessary spectral and spatial properties,we have
    recently discovered a remarkable X-ray galaxy, RASS 1011+1736. The   
    optical spectrum of this object shows clear evidence for both vigor- 
    ous starburst activity and a weak or obscured active nucleus.Its soft
    X-ray luminosity, however, is $>$ 5 $\times$ 10$^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$, 
    vastly greater than that typical of either of these source classes.  
    We propose to obtain an ASCA spectrum which will allow us to deter-  
    mine whether this object is the most luminous starburst known, the   
    most luminous Seyfert 2,{\it or both}, as well as to assess the      
    potential contribution such objects can make to
