   4C38.41 is one of the brightest GAMMA-RAY blazar detected by EGRET on
   board CGRO. Based on the fast time variablity ( a few days), the
   emission region of gamma-ray is believed to be at the very center of
   the blazar. In spite of gamma-ray information, we do not have any
   meaningful knowledge of the object in the X-ray band. ASCA
   observation is crucial to understand the emission mechanism upto GeV
   band. As part of an international multiband campaign, we propose to
   observe 4C38.41. Since EGRET will run out of the gas of the sparc
   chamber in 1996, this coordinated observation is the last chance to
   have the spectrum upto GeV.
