£• 1 am also once more to point out that His
Majesty's decision is related to the see**ed only and in
no way affects navigational, fishing or other rights
in the waters above the sea^bed. The present position
regarding navlfatlon in the Sltrah channel will, therefore,
be In do way affected. His Majesty's Government are
fully aware of the iaportance of this channel not only
to the Bahrein ^etroleuc Company but to the Bahrain
islands generally, and will be at pains to tee that no
action is taken as a result of the decision reached
regarding the division of the sea-bed which will in any
way interfere with the u^e of the channel for navigational
purposes.
Yours faithfully.
