Vitali report on behalf of the REM team: The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed automatically the field of the GRB 080319A (GCN 7426, Pagani et al.) about 40 seconds after the burst. We do no detect any source at the position of the optical afterglow identified by Cenko et al. (GCN 7429) and Malesani et al. (GCN 7436) with a 3sigma upper limit of H~15.0 in the first coadded frame at about 100sec after the burst. [GCN OPS NOTE(19mar08): Per author's request, the Cenko reference was added.]
