   Soft X-ray selection picks out unabsorbed objects which have strong
   ``soft excesses''. This energetically important component, likely to be
   the high energy tail of the accretion disk spectrum, plays an important
   role in production of optical emission lines and hard X-ray spectra.
   Proposed ASCA observations of the 4 remaining objects in a complete
   sample of 20 soft X-ray selected AGN will yield hard X-ray spectra and
   variability information, the first from these bright Seyfert galaxies.
   Statistical analysis of these results with an existing database of
   multiwaveband and optical properties will be performed. Resulting
   trends will allow us to significantly advance our understanding of the
   relationships between the soft excess, multiwaveband, emission line and
   hard X-ray properties.
