   Observations of 6 fields containing 16 nearby Class I infrared sources
   are proposed in order to complete the census of protostars within
   200pc. Five fields are in the Taurus-Auriga clouds and one is in the
   Chamaeleon cloud. Combined with other ASCA images, this study will
   provide a unique database to correlate X-ray emission with other
   stellar properties such as age, extinction and outflow orientation.
   This study should further the understanding of X-ray emission from the
   youngest stellar objects, which has important implications for
   protoplanetary disks, protostellar outflows, and star formation
   regulation
