The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM Planetquest) will be the first optical interferometer capable of microarcsecond precision astrometry on quasars. Objects brighter than ˜16th mag will be used as targets to answer questions such as: ``Does the most compact optical emission come from an accretion disk or from a relativistic jet?''; ``Is the separation of the radio core and optical photocenter stable at the level of a few micorarcseconds or does it change?''; and ``Is there a shift in the optical photocenter as a function of color?'' We are gathering results from variability studies to select appropriate SIM targets.
