                         Dear Aldo: 
 
                                       Under separate cover I am sending
to you 
                         copies of the November reports of the research projects

                         and returning the October copies. I am doing this

                         simply because of the fact that I have made arrange-

                         ments to have extra copies of these reports made

                         for you. These you may retain in your files if you

                         so desire. They need not be returned to this office

                         as we have copies. 
 
                                        I agree with you absolutely with
respect 
                         to the burdensome nature of monthly reports and
I 
                         believe the folks over at the Survey now feel the

                         same way about it. Future reports are to be made

                         on a quarterly basis. I think this will be much

                         more satisfactory all the way around. 
 
                                        I think the Delta project is all
taken 
                         care of but I will hold off for a few days before

                         saying definitely that it has all been approved
by 
                         our Executive Committee. 
 
                                                             Sincerely yours,

 
 
 
                                                             C. M. Palmer,
Jr.
