   It is well known that in the Milky Way, there are three regions
   containing diffuse hot plasma associated with the 6.7 keV line
   emission: the galactic plane, the galactic center region, and the
   galactic bulge. We propose the mapping observation of the galacitc
   bulge with ASCA. Recent analysis of the ASCA archival data has revealed
   that at least two emission components exist far beyond the scale height
   of 10 deg latitude. This suggest that the total energy contained in
   this region would be the most enormous, greater than that contained in
   the galactic plane.
