Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments in recent years have attained a sufficient sensitivity to detect dust-correlated microwave emission at 15-30 GHz from dust in the Milky Way. At such frequencies, this dust-correlated emission dominates free-free, synchrotron, and other foregrounds. Draine & Lazarian (1998) proposed that this emission might be electric dipole emission from rapidly spinning dust grains. We have recently processed the Green Bank Galactic Plane Survey at 8 and 14 GHz (Langston et al. 2000) to examine the diffuse ISM emission, and found it consistent with the Draine & Lazarian theory, and very inconsistent with free-free or synchrotron emission. Given this evidence, it is likely that "spinning dust" emission dominates the diffuse ISM emission observed by MAP at 22 GHz.
