   We propose ASCA observations of G349.7+0.2 and G344.7-0.1, two Galactic
   SNRs recently detected in an ASCA Galactic Plane survey project. The
   high absorption for each remnant indicates that the distances are
   large. The high energy response provided by ASCA is thus crucial in
   peering deep into the Galaxy to observe these objects. G349.7+0.2 has
   an extremely high radio surface brightness, probably indicating that it
   is a young ejecta-dominated or plerionic SNR. The ASCA survey data show
   clear emission lines and a hint of a hard spectral tail. G344.7-0.1 has
   a radio morphology suggestive of a composite remnant although the X-ray
   emission appears primarily thermal. We propose deeper observations of
   these SNRs in order to obtain sufficient counts to carry out detailed
   spectral investigations.
