From the VLA 20cm survey of ≃ 500 Abell clusters reported by (Ledlow and Owen, 1995), we have obtained optical R-Band CCD observations and optical spectra for 265 radio galaxies. The survey is complete for 20cm flux density greater than 10 mJy within 0.3 corrected Abell radii of the cluster center. All Abell clusters with measured z < 0.09 were surveyed. This statistically complete sample was supplemented by ≃ 200 clusters with 0.09 < z < 0.25 including sources with flux density > 200 mJy. Only 6% of the sample consists of FR II radio sources, the remainder are twin-jets, tailed, or compact sources associated with the FR I class.
