From the first issue, Vol. 1, Nr. 1, March 1, 1953:
To All Tapline Employees:
This is the first edition of a new Tapline employee's publication
which each of you will receive monthly.
It's purpose is to bring together the employees of Tapline in four
countries and of more than a dozen nationalities, into a closer
understanding of one another and of the Company for which we work.
I urge that each of you regard this publication as your paper, and
that you participate actively in its development by passing to the
"Editor-Tapline-Beirut," or to your station correspondent, any news,
views or ideas which you think may be of interest to others.
C.A. Swigart
