We propose to carry out far-infrared observations of a complete and homogeneous sample of 200 galaxies selected in radio (1.4 GHz) wavelengths to a flux limit of S(1.4) ~ 0.3 mJy, covering an area of 2 square degrees. To this limit, a significant number of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and Seyferts are expected to be detected. We propose to investigate if the absence of high-redshift galaxies from deep optical surveys is due to dust extinction of starforming ellipticals. Also, Far-infrared observations will be used to estimate the space densities of different classes of objects in deep radio surveys and to investigate if the radio-60 micron relation, found for local galaxies, holds for the fainter, more distant sources as well. Nature of the excess population, detected in in optical and far-infrared surveys will also be studied.
