************************************************************************* 52087 We continue our study of the supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the goal of further determining the gas-phase LMC metal abundances. New ASCA observations of two remnants 0534-69.9 and 0543-68.9 are proposed. These remnants are among the largest/oldest in the sample and as such will provide a test of the effects of differing evolutionary states on the derivation of abundances from SNR X-ray spectroscopy. *************************************************************************
