   X-ray absorption appears to be relatively common in low luminosity
   AGN, yet uncommon in quasars. Indeed there are no clear cases of cold
   circumnuclear absorption in quasars, only three documented cases of
   warm absorbers: MR2251-178, 3C351 and PG1114+445. MR2251-178 has
   already been observed by ASCA, and here we propose observations of
   3C351 and PG1114+445. The proposed observations will allow
   examination of ionization state and column density of the warm
   absorber gas, and hence provide a vital insight into the relationship
   between AGN radio properties, luminosity and the state of the
   circumnuclear material.
