Data obtained with an image-tube scanner at the 3-m Shane telescope are combined with IUE data to obtain plasma diagnostics and chemical compositions for two planetary nebulae of moderately high excitation. Theoretical nebular models were calculated using stellar fluxes given by Husfeld et al. (1984) for T(asterisk) = 85,000 K, log g = 4.72, and elemental abundances were obtained by fitting theoretical to observed line intensities and also by using the model to determine ionization correction factors to be applied to observed ionic concentrations. Although C appears to be about 1.5 times as abundant in NGC 6644 as in NGC 6565, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar are depleted by factors ranging from 2 to 6 in NGC 6644 as compared to NGC 6565. The high-velocity object, NGC 6644, was evidently made from a less metal-rich mixture than the sun.
