Abstract
A preliminary CO emission line survey covering a strip at b = -2' from ℓ = 359°.7 to ℓ = 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 s^(-1). Measurement of the ^(13)C^(16)O and ^12)C^(18)O emission indicates isotopic abundances similar to those of the solar system.
