Several bright transient X-ray sources have been detected in the last half of 1993. We report on OSSE observations for two of these transient X-ray sources: GRS 1009--45 first detected 12 Sept 1993 (IAUC No. 5864) and GRS 1716-249 = GRO J1719-24 first detected 24 Sept 1993 (IAUC No. 5874). OSSE observed GRS 1009--45 for approximately 24 hours starting 21 Sept 1993, providing a significant detection from 45--500 keV. The source had a hard spectrum and is well fit by a power law with an index of -2.4. We also report on OSSE observations of GRS 1716-249 which are scheduled to begin 25 Oct 1993. BATSE observations indicate this source reached a maximum intensity 50% brighter than the Crab nebula over a period of at least 12 days. This source also has a hard spectrum with an index of approximately -2.0. OSSE measurements should extend the energy spectrum well above 300 keV first reported by BATSE and SIGMA.
