The ultraviolet spectra of the twin quasars 0957 + 561 A,B were obtained with International Ultraviolet Explorer. These quasars are suspected to be the images of a single object formed by an intervening galaxy acting as a gravitational lens. The ultraviolet data give an intensity ratio for the two objects which is the same, within the errors, as that derived at radio frequencies. This shows that differential reddening between the two light paths is negligible and also given support to the gravitational lens hypothesis.
