We point out a possible association of high-velocity molecular gas with theGalactic Center Radio Lobe (GCL). A molecular spur in the eastern GCL ridge isreceding at $\Vlsr \sim +100$ \kms, and the western spur approaching at $\Vlsr\sim -150$ \kms, suggesting a high-velocity rotation of the GCL. We study thekinematics of the GCL based on these molecular line data.Comment: To appear in ApJ. Letters, Plain TeX, Figures on reques
