Abstract	We propose to complete an observing program accepted during the last AO aimed atdiscovering unquestionable examples of still-elusive, Compton-thick (CT) quasarsamong the most OIII luminous AGNs in the local Universe. We request XMM-Newtonobservations of two narrow line AGNs at z <0.04. The very large OIIIluminosity of both sources points out an intrinsic X-ray luminosity typical ofquasars, while previous low-quality X-ray data provided strong, althoughinconclusive, evidence of a reflection dominated spectrum. As demonstrated bythe observation of the AO8 accepted target, that has successfully revealed a CTquasar, our observing strategy is designed to minimize the risks of ambiguousresults that have affected most of blind searches for CT luminous AGNs performed so far.

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.
