   The most important unanswered question concerning the Seyfert galaxy
   phenomenon is the fundamental nature of the energy source. Is this
   entirely an AGN "monster" or is there a contribution from massive hot
   stars? We propose a 40 ksec observation of IC 3639, a Seyfert 2 galaxy
   with evidence of a circumnuclear starburst, to complete a small sample
   of such objects with ASCA data and thus increase our ability to
   distinguish between these energy sources. Combined with X-ray data of
   similar objects, this will (1) provide a new tool for testing the
   importance of starbursts in the Seyfert phenomenon, (2) allow us to
   'flag' Seyfert 2s with a strong starburst contribution, and (3)
   determine whether Seyfert 2s with starbursts contain deeply buried
   Seyfert 1 nuclei.
