Results of a search for possible associations between point sources in the IRAS catalog and rich clusters of galaxies in the recently published Abell, Corwin and Olowin (ACO; (1989)) catalog are presented. It is found that the surface density of IRAS sources rises progressively above the background as the projected distance from the cluster center decreases below about 1 Mpc. The increase is most pronounced for the poorest clusters in the ACO catalog. At low redshift (z less than 0.03) the spatial distribution of ACO-IRAS associations is markedly anisotropic with a 3-sigma enhancement in the direction of the Great Attractor.
