We report VLA observations of H76α emission from the H II region in M–0.13–0.08, the Sgr A “15 km s−1 cloud.” The line to continuum flux ratio implies an electron temperature Te ~ 7500 K, slightly lower than measurements of Te in Sgr B2. The deduced number of early stars and the infrared luminosity are consistent with a normal IMF in this cloud.
