and that the Agreements were ultra yjres under the I.P.C.
Oil Agreement; on the other hand if the Hoye.1 Dutch Shell
were brought in now as a party to the Agreements, the I.P.C.
could not:., legitimately object to Agreements made by two of
its constituents or to the concession being worked by the
A.P.0.0. and the Royal Dutch Shell if the I.P.C. decided
not to take up the concession. Mr, Agnew explained that
even two constituent groups of the I.P.C. were not allowed

proved acceptable to the A.P.O.C. and the Royal Dutch Shell
would be acceptable to them. Mr. Agnew thought, -chereioie,,
that the formation of a Shell A.P.O.C. group would be
tactically undesirable at this stage since it would appear
to the other constituents of the I.P.C. as a sort oi all-
British front.
In view of this explanation the meeting agreed tha o
in spite of the rather informal nature of the present
arrangements between the A.P.O.C. and the I.t.C. it ,.ovuJ

be made in the name of the A.P.O.C. only. The
