We present new 6, 3.6, and 2 cm VLA radio observations of the nearby mergersystem NGC 3256, with resolutions of ~100 pc, which reveal compact radiosources embedded in more diffuse emission at all three wavelengths. The tworadio nuclei are partially resolved, but the two dominant compact sources thatremain coincide with the two most powerful compact Ultraluminous X-ray sources(ULXs) recently reported by Lira et al. The radio/X-ray ratios for these twosources are too high by factors of >100-1000 to be normal X-ray binaries.However, their radio and X-ray powers and ratios are consistent withlow-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs), and optical emission linessuggest the presence of a nuclear disk around the northern nucleus. If the twonuclear ULXs are LLAGNs, their associated black holes are separated by only\~1kpc, about 6 times closer to one another than those found recently in themerger galaxy NGC 6240. A third ULX on the outskirts of the merger is also aradio source, and probably is a collection of supernova remnants. The remainingULXs are not coincident with any source of compact radio emission, and areconsistent with expectations for beamed X-ray binaries or intermediate-massblack holes.Comment: Accepted for ApJ (10 pages, 5 figures
