Abstract
We point out a possible association of high-velocity molecular gas wit h the Galactic center radio lobe (GCL). A molecular spur in the easter n GCL ridge is receding at V-LSR similar to +100 km s(-1), and the wes tern spur approaching at V-LSR similar to -150 km s(-1), suggesting a high-velocity rotation of the GCL. We study the kinematics of the GCL based on these molecular line data.
