Summary Nc, 1C.
'i':i Bahrain Government is anxious about the
number of Persians who are attempting to enter Bahrain
without travel documents. Entry is usually effected
from smalj boats lying off shore- from which men swim
ashore. Ihc long coastline and numerous small islands off
the coast and the small force of policemen and passport
officials make it difficult for the Bahrain Government
to deal sic essfully with these tactics. New arrivals,
when challenged, are invariably able to produce witnesses
from amor: ' ena fide Persian residents of Bahrain who
testify the v, they were born in Bahrain or have been long
resident rere. More efficient check measures are under
cons id era .im*
