not biased by optical, radio, or X-ray characteristics of the selected objects. While the survey is ongoing, we have a significant subset of the proposed observations in hand that allows us to address some of the primary questions about FUV detectability. Section 2 addresses the target selection criteria and describes the survey strategy and observational details. Section 3 describes a general analysis of the detected objects and compares to optical and X-ray data. Details about the individual objects detected are described in the Appendix.

Target Selection and Observations
=================================

The $\fuse$ Survey program category allows one to propose a set of targets for potential observation, with no guarantees that any particular target will be observed. Targets are selected and inserted into observation timelines in ways that provide scheduling flexibility to the observatory, while accomplishing the scientific objectives of the proposed program. We thus compiled a list of potential targets from the optical SNR catalogs of Mathewson et al. (1983; 1984, 1985) and from the X-ray SNR catalog of Williams et al. (1999a). We supplemented this list with a number of individual objects reported in the literature (Smith et al. 1994; Chu et al. 1995; 1997; 2000; Dickel et al. 2001;
