  Previously we have shown (Maller et al, 1998) that the kinematics of Damped
Lyman Alpha Systems (DLAS) as measured by Prochaska and Wolfe (1998) can be
reproduced in a multiple disk model (MDM) if the gaseous disks are of
sufficient radial extent. Here we discuss this model's predictions for the
relationship between DLAS and Lyman break galaxies (LBGs), which we here take
to be objects at z~3 brighter than R=25.5. We expect that future observations
of the correlations between DLAS and LBGs will provide a new data set able to
discriminate between different theoretical models of the DLAS. Djorgovski
(1997) has already detected a few optical counterparts and more studies are
underway.
