The relation between the projected face-on velocity-integrated CO (1-0) brightness ICO and the 20 cm nonthermal radio continuum brightness T20 is examined as a function of radius in the Galactic disk. Averaged in 1 kpc annuli, the ratio ICO/T20 is nearly constant with a mean value of 1.51 +/- 0.34 km/s from 2 to 10 kpc. The manner in which ICO and T20 are derived for the Galaxy is different in several significant respects from the more direct observational determinations possible in nearby galaxies. The fact that the Galaxy also follows this correlation further strengthens the generality of the result.
