    PR # 32235                                                                   
     ASCA spectra of 3 radio-loud high z quasars have given interesting          
     results: (1) kT=39+/-4 keV, the X-ray background temperature; (2) No        
     `Compton hump' is needed, suggesting a different nuclear structure  f       
     rom Seyferts; (3) the low-energy cut-off seen in ROSAT has a shape  t       
     hat requires an unexpected location or conditions.  These results   w       
     ould be strongly affected by whether or not they apply also to high z       
      radio-quiet quasars, none of which have ASCA spectra. We propose too       
     bserve the two brightest known (in X-rays) quasars above z=2.
