OUSLER tumed-over the _ responsibilities of inside Station control of the LIMOTOR Project to Marvin A. CABOT during a meeting held with the outside Starr Agent for the LIMOTOR Project, Seymour D. TRINNICH, What follows is the first in a series of Progress Reports which it is hoped will not only serve to keep Headquarters advised of just what is going on in the LIMOTOR Project but will alse serve to apprise Headquarters in greater datail of the performance of the LIMOTOR | Staff Agent on the outside under student cover. During the period under review TRINNICH!s replacement, Natalie S, MICHNOFF arrived to take over the outside responsibilities for LIMOTOR, In the future regular Progress Reports on LIMOTOR will. be submitted on a quarterly basis, MEETINGS 2.

Since these meetings were TEAICH’s only eontact with the Station, Geliterate efforts were unde to keep him abreast of genet Station davelorments as well as RURARK developments.
