Abstract
The IRAS Point Source Catalog has been compared with the 20 cm Galactic plane survey (GPS) of Zoonematkermani S. et al. (1990, Astrophys. J. Sup. Ser., 74). A new technique for distinguishing chance from true coincidences using the bands at which the IRAS sources are detected is developed. For each match, an estimate of the probability that the match represents a true association is derived. Of the 1992 radio sources, 330 have high probability associations, with most having reliabilities above 90%. The GPS/IRAS sources are clearly Galactic: they have a very restricted distribution in both Galactic latitude and longitude.
