5. What is your opinion of Yusuf Yasin's verbal suggestion
to Bullard (vide paragraph 3 of latter*s letter) tnat tne bound
ary should be a line midway between Bahrain and tne mainland*
(a) If this line was drawn due North and South midway
between Budaiya on Manama Island and tne Saudi mainland
then it appears to me that Bain al Sagnir would fall to
the Saudis and Bain al Khabir to Bahrain*
(b) But Bahrain internationally includes all tne territory
under the Bahrain irovernment in which case tne due
North and South line should be drawn midway between
TJhim Na 1 san, which by common consent belongs to Bahrain,
and the Saudi mainland, in this case both islands
would definitely fall to Bahrain*
(c) I imagine, however, that the Saudi line if ever drawn
would not be due north and South but would be equi
distant from both territories following the configura
tion of tne coast line. In this case
(1) if the line is equidistant between tne Saudi
mainland and the Island of Manama botJ^Bain as
Saghir and Bain al Khabir will fall tp Saudi
Arabi a.
(2) If the line is equidistant between tne Saudi
mainland and umra Na f s&n Bain as saghir will fall
to Bahrain and Bain al Kn&bir probably to Saudi
Arabia.
6. could you please let me have your views on tne above
permutations and combinations ? Perhaps the wavy might be good
enough to assist with regard to charts etc*
