In a thermal bremmstrahlung model for x-ray emission from clusters of galaxies the intracluster medium produces a Faraday rotation, the magnitude of which depends primarily upon the magnetic field geometry. Three-frequency polarization observations of radio sources located behind and within clusters of galaxies were carried out, and rotation measures are given. This significantly augments the population of radio sources usable for a statistical analysis designed to isolate or limit intracluster Faraday rotation. In general, the rotation measures given here are not excessively larger than typical values found for sources not seen through clusters.
