   Recent optical spectroscopic surveys showed that AGNs are more numerous
   than previously thought to be. While, ROSAT deep observations revealed
   that narrow emission line galaxies are numerous at faint flux level and
   their spectra are flatter than QSOs. Then they could be significant
   contributor to the X-ray background. We propose to observe nearby
   bright low luminosity Seyfert 2s to measure spectral slope, amount of
   absorption, iron emission lines. Our aims are (1)to understand X-ray
   spectral properties of low luminosity Seyfert 2 galaxies and to compare
   them with Seyfert galaxies higher luminosity (2)to test whether they
   contribute to the X-ray background or not based on their X-ray spectra.
