  We have discovered two low-ionization broad absorption line quasars in
programs to obtain optical spectra for radio-selected quasar candidates from
the VLA FIRST Survey (Becker, White, & Helfand 1995). Both belong to the
extremely rare class of BAL QSOs that exhibit narrow absorption lines from
metastable excited levels of Fe II and Fe III. Until now, there was just a
single object in this class, 0059-2735 (Hazard et al. 1987). In addition, one
of our new objects is the first known radio-loud BAL QSO. The properties of
these three unusual objects suggest a trend of increasing radio luminosity with
the amount of absorption to the quasar, and are perhaps transition objects
between radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars. The two new objects are from a
radio-selected sample comprising less than 200 quasars; one is heavily
attenuated at optical wavelengths in the observed frame. These objects would be
easily overlooked by most optical QSO searches; their abundance in the radio
sample suggests that they may be representatives of a largely undetected
component of the quasar population, perhaps as numerous as ordinary
low-ionization BAL QSOs which constitute 1-2% of all QSOs.
