    PR # 32197                                                                   
     The hard X-ray properties of Seyfert 2 galaxies are an important key        
     to progress in understanding the difference between Seyfert 1 and           
     Seyfert 2 galaxies. Models which unify these classes in terms of            
     anisotropic obscuration and viewing geometry can be tested with hard        
     X-ray spectra. Intrinsic differences can be discovered. In this             
     proposal, we address the failure of previous X-ray studies to test          
     whether or not any ``true'' Seyfert 2 galaxies exist. Unfortunate  se       
     lection of targets biased the $Ginga$ observations toward objects  th       
     at had already been certified as hidden Seyfert 1s by detection of br       
     oad emission lines in polarized flux. We propose more sensitive    ob       
     servations of Seyfert 2s which have as yet $no$ evidence for broad em       
    ission-line regions, thus test
