   We propose two x-ray bright clusters with apparently on-going mergers
   for detailed study with ASCA. With these observations, we can
   estimate the total mass and heavy element distribution of the
   subclusters comprising each cluster and examine subcluster
   interactions in the form of shocks which are expected to occur as the
   subclusters merge. The ASCA observations, when combined with
   extensive optical spectroscopy and ROSAT images, provide powerful
   tools for investigating cluster dynamics and mergers.
