   We have optically identified the brightest ~1000 ROSAT All-Sky-Survey
   sources. We now have a statistically complete sample of bright, soft X-
   ray Seyfert galaxies, equivalent to the hard-X-ray-selected
   Piccinnotti-sample. A large fraction of the new sources shows
   signatures of interaction. Hard X-ray spectra of some sample objects
   taken with ASCA and XTE, quite unexpectedly show that their X-ray
   continua can be described by a single power law spectrum in the whole
   0.1-10 keV band, with an energy index typically above 1.0, inconsistent
   with the conventional spectral model for hard X-ray selected Seyferts.
   Here we propose to take 20 ksec ASCA spectra of the three brightest
   interacting Seyfert galaxies never observed at hard X-rays.
