I have the honour to refer to your letter

to BAHRAIN and have been received at this
Headquarters and are now under consideration. These
reports would apnear to form a very useful basis for
internal security measures in the event of any sudden
emergency occurring in the near future.
3. I now pronose that Major R.G. Price (GS02
at this Headquarters), should visit the Gulf stations
concerned, i.e. BAHREIN, KUWEIT, QATAR, SHARJAH, DIBAI
and MUSC\T, in November, in order to prepare the
necessary defence schemes. I propose that at present
these schemes should be confined to schemes for
protection against sabotage and tribal attacks. If at
a later date it becomes necessary to consider the question
of air or sea attack, further schemes can be superimposed.
4 . It is not convenient, mainly for reasons in
connection with the provision of the necessary aircraft,
for Major Price to visit the Gulf stations before
