A new statistical analysis of the data presented by Fugmann (1988) indicating that the association of the nearest neighboring galaxies with distant flat-spectrum radio quasars is significant at the 97.5 percent level. The distribution of nearest-neighbor distances is consistent with model calculations of gravitational microlensing, although very small angular distances may be systematically depleted. The overdensity of galaxies near the radio-selected flat-spectrum quasars of this sample seems to exceed that implied by the results of Webster et al. (1988) for a sample of optically selected QSOs.
