A preliminary CO emission line survey covering a strip at b = -2' from 1 = to 1 = 2?8 is presented which shows a continuous band of emission connecting the region between Sgr A and Sgr B. A high-resolution map of the Sgr A cloud near the galactic center shows that there are at least two clouds centered within 3' of each other with a velocity difference of 35 km 51 Measurement of the `3C16O and `2C'5O emission indicates isotopic abundances similar to those of the solar system.
