We describe a long term project to find faint, heavily-reddened, cool supergiants and carbon stars and to classify IRAS Point Sources within 6° of the southern galactic plane. Many new supergiants and carbon stars have been found, and thousands of IRAS Point Sources have had their spectral types determined.
