Observations towards the Galactic Center of the 1(10)-1(11) transition of the C-13 and C-12 isotopes of NH2CHO were performed; they yielded C-12/C-13 ratios of 27 + or - 3 for Sgr B2 and 31 + or - 7 for Sgr A. Spectra of NH2(C-12)HO showing all hyperfine components in emission were obtained for Sgr A and Sgr B2. No evidence for non-LTE behavior was obtained, although the hyperfine intensity data for Sgr B2 suggest an optical depth of about -0.1 (i.e., a population inversion) for the strongest component (F = 2-2). A 13-point map around Sgr B2 indicated that the source was about 3 arcmin in extent.
