  We present a survey of 72 Seyfert galaxies and quasars observed by the it Far
Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). We have determined that 72 of 253
available active galactic nuclei (AGN) targets are viable targets for detection
of intrinsic absorption lines. We examined these spectra for signs of intrinsic
absorption in the O VI doublet (lambda 1031.9, 1037.6) and Lyman beta (lambda
1025.7). The fraction of Seyfert 1 galaxies and low-redshift quasars at z <
0.15 that show evidence of intrinsic UV absorption is ~50%, which is slightly
lower than Crenshaw et al. (1999) found (60%) based on a smaller sample of
Seyfert 1 galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). With this
new fraction we find a global covering factor of the absorbing gas with respect
to the central nucleus of ~0.4. Our survey is to date the largest searching for
intrinsic UV absorption with high spectral resolution, and is the first step
toward a more comprehensive study of intrinsic absorption in low-redshift AGN.
