\begin{abstract}

We present Very Large Array (VLA) observations of 43 GHz SiO
$(J=1\rightarrow 0,\ v=2$ and $v=1)$ maser emission in a sub-sample of
late-type stars in the Inner Galaxy selected on their relatively
strong ($>$ 0.5 Jy) 86 GHz SiO masers, and located within
\timeform{2.5D} of the Galactic center. Furthermore we combine these
results with a summary of previous surveys for 43 GHz SiO masers in
the Galactic center and comment on their use as calibrators for the
Japanese ``VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry'' (VERA) network,
which is intended to perform sub-milli-arcsecond astrometry in the
Galaxy and the Galactic center.
