   We request a total of 140-ks of observations of Galactic supernova
   remnants (SNR) that have not yet been observed systematically at X-ray
   energies. The remnants are chosen on the basis of select criteria, such
   a young age and ``composite morphology''. The prime motivation for
   these observations is to extend ASCA's extremely successful neutron
   star (/pulsar)- SNR program, and will be backed by a unique ground-
   based radio effort. We feel that such large projects warrant time at
   this phase of the mission. If time is granted we are prepared to accept
   a proprietary period of three months.
