                                    A survey of chemical abundances and radial velocities for a spatially
selected sample of RR Lyrae stars has been started. Assuming an absolute
magnitude of -0.6 for these objects, this leads to a near spherical
volume of 2 kpc radius to be explored. Special emphasis is devoted to
those RR Lyrae stars contained in the Input Catalogue of the Hipparcos
mission. Radial velocities, proper motions and abundances for these
objects should provide one with a useful database for studies of
galactic structure.
