   In a recent optical identification program for radio-loud active
   galactic nuclei, originating from a correlation of the ROSAT All-Sky
   Survey and the Green Bank 5 GHz Survey, the object RGB J0044+193 was
   identified as the first radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy.
   We propose to observe this peculiar object for 60 ksec with ASCA in
   order to determine its broad band X-ray spectrum. The hard X-ray
   spectra are particularly well suited to derive constraints on physical
   models for NLS1s as a class and their relationship to ordinary Seyfert
   galaxies. We intend to compare the ASCA spectrum of this radio-loud
   NLS1 galaxy to previous observations of radio-quiet NLS1 galaxies.
