The possibility that the morphology of radio-galaxy jets may be influenced by interaction with X-ray emitting gaseous halos prompted the authors to observe several "jet" galaxies with the Einstein Observatory. These observations carried out with the IPC had a high detection rate (5 out of the 6 radio galaxies observed). The X-ray data for these objects are presented. The X-ray luminosities lie between ≡1042 and ≡1045 erg s-1. The X-ray emission was found to be extended for the two galaxies with the most counts, 3C 130 and 3C 449. Three of the detected galaxies are known to be associated with clusters and the authors suggest that 3C 130 may also be associated with a cluster.
