Theoretical calculations show that detectable amounts of FIR radiation can be produced by accretion disks around compact sources. Here, the HEAO A-1 Catalog (Wood et al., 1984) and Bradt and McClintock (1983) are used to select a likely set of candidate sources, and the IRAS Point Source Catalog and IRAS Serendipitous Survey Catalog are used to search for characteristic IR emission from sources in fields around them. Eighty-one candidates with 242 IRAS field sources were examined and color corrected. Eight of these have IR flux measurements which are consistent with emisison from an accretion disk S/N, although other mechanisms for their IR emission cannot yet be ruled out. Most have poor positional corespondences and must be considered suspect as identifications.
