Scientific paper

We report spectroscopic observations of objects with ultraviolet excess found within 2 arcminutes of radio-detected QSOs. Of six such objects, four are definitely QSOs, and another is very probably a QSO. In the three cases where redshifts have been measured for both members of a pair, they are not the same. The probability of the pairing occurring by chance, given a random distribution of QSOs over the sky, is 0.001, based on current estimates of the surface density of QSOs near 19 mag.
