Abstract	Recent optical spectroscopy has identified a large sample of SDSS quasars (QSOs)with broad CIV and/or MgII absorption lines (BALs). The relationship between UVand X-ray absorbers/continuum is controversial, with important implications formodels of QSO structure. Short, 10 ks observations of X-ray bright BALQs willgive CCD X-ray spectra enabling us to measure and constrain absorber states,continuum properties, and Fe Ka lines, with ramifications for BALQ structure.Our targets are unusually X-ray bright for BALQs. Understanding theseexceptional sources will shed light on the physics of BALQs in general. Oursample includes four radio-loud and two low-ionization BALQs; high-counts X-rayspectra of such objects are rare.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
