Description:
    The radio counterparts to the IRAS Redshift Survey galaxies are
    identified in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) catalog. Our new catalog
    of the IR flux-limited (>2 Jy at 60 micron) complete sample of 1809
    galaxies lists accurate radio positions, redshifts, and 1.4 GHz radio
    and IRAS flux densities and luminosities.
