the arrival of the first seismic survey party yesterday,
the leader of that party had informed him that it would
be necessary to make a preliminary land base survey on
the east coast of Qatar. Sprague had a letter from the
Shaikh saying that there was no objection to this land
base survey and Jackson had confirmed tfat there was no
objection on behalf of P.D.Q. I therefore informed
Sprague that he could proceed with this survey which is
due to start on the 27th of this month. He stated first
of all that it was their intention to proceed as far south
as Wakrah, but he later said that he had advised the
survey party to restrict the area to that north of Doha
to begin with.
