V and I magnitudes are presented for 20 stars to be occulted by the Uranian rings during the period 1986-1990 and for 15 stars to be occulted by Saturn's rings during 1986-1991. K magnitudes for seven Uranus stars are presented. The occultation stars are up to one magnitude brighter in the K bandpass than one would predict on the basis of V-I colors alone. This effect can be explained by typical amounts of interstellar reddening.
