A large Mototrailla earth moving machine donated to Uruguay by the people of the United States was presented yesterday by U.S. Ambassador Martin J. Silverstein to the Secretary of the Presidency Dr. Raul Lago.

Also present during the ceremony were Ing. Juan Echeverz from the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP), and Col. Domingo Montaldo for the national emergency program.
