We report upper limits to pulsed X-ray emissions from PSR B1951+32 in 0.5 - 250 keV based on observations of ASCA in 1993 and RXTE in 1996. Together with earlier ROSAT report, these upper limits strongly suggest a thermal pulsed component below about 1 keV. These upper limits also indicate a spectral bending occurring in 100 keV - 3 MeV, which favors an outer-magnetosphere origin for gamma-ray emissions from PSR B1951+32.
