Recent observations of the 12.8-micron Ne II emission from the galactic center have revealed a region of primarily blueshifted emission in addition to the previously detected redshifted emission. It appears most likely that the blueshifted and redshifted emission come from separate clouds and that the dynamics of the ionized gas is dominated by the gravitational potential of the massive core at the galactic center. On the basis of the velocities and velocity dispersions, the total mass within a radius of 1 pc about the galactic center is estimated to be of the order of 4 million solar masses.
