  Title: AN ASCA STUDY OF TWO EXCEPTIONAL COOLING FLOWS                                  


Abstract:
 We propose ASCA observations of two exceptional cooling-flows. The first, Abell 1068
 (z = 0.139) has been shown through extensive ROSAT PSPC, optical and IRAS studies,
 to be shrouded in dusty, cold, X-ray absorbing material. ASCA observations will
 permit a detailed investigation of the properties of the cooling flow, its host
 cluster, and the nature of the absorbing gas. Deep ROSAT HRI and ISO observations of
 Abell 1068 are also scheduled and will complement the ASCA analysis. The second sour
