fact that His Majesty's Government may wish to extend the
existing aerodrome or to establish a new aerodrome in the
future, it is thought advisable to delete the second part
of the old Article 1.
4- Article 2 is the same as before. The insertion of the
new Article 3 (which is on the same lines as the correspon
ding article in the Kuwait Agreement) would enable His
Majesty's Government to legislate for certain procedures and
rules for the use of the aerodrome. This insertion is not
absolutely essential and if you think it may raise, or con
tribute to, difficulties, you may omit it. Article 3 is a
slightly amended version of the old Article 4 and is on
the lines of the similar provision in the Kuwait Agreement.
Articles 6 to 9 are virtually unchanged. A slight drafting
amendment has been made to the last sentence of Article 10.
5- Article II(i ) The figures for the pay of the guards
have been brought up to date (as also in the draft exchange
of letters on the Royal Air Force camp). The pay is des
cribed in terms of basic pay and living allowance, as was
suggested in paragraph 3 of your despatch Ho. 14 of March 1st,
1949.
Article II(ii ). This figure takes account of the ex
tension of the airfield last July (Mr. Sarell's letter
GA 33/9 of 21st March).

telegram Ko.240 of 6th May 1949. It is understood that at

being paid into a suspense account against the money advanced
by His Majesty's Government to the Shaikh for the building of
the house. When this loan has been paid off the lent will
