We propose to obtain brief observations of historically bright sources which are or may be X-ray binaries in order to obtain precise X-ray locations. The sources are the HMXBs XTE J1543-568, 4U1901+03, and GS0834-430, the LMXB GS 0836-429, and the unclassified sources SAX J1428.6-5422, XTE J1837+037, and IGR J21117+3427. Precise locations are needed for the identification of optical/IR counterparts to five of these and for the confirmation of previously proposed optical/IR identifications of two of the sources. Precise locations are also used in the analysis of data from X-ray sky monitors. None of these sources is currently bright enough to be clearly detected by the RXTE ASM, but each could be sufficiently bright to be unambiguously detected in a Chandra/ACIS image.
