We are undertaking at Columbia University an out-of-plane survey of 2.6 mm CO emission from the first quadrant of the galactic disk with a 1.2 meter telescope. With the 8′ beamwidth of this instrument at 2.6 mm (about that of the largest existing steerable instruments at 21 cm) it is possible to completely map the first quadrant in only a few hundred days of observation.
