FOREIGN OFFICE,
CONFIDENTIAL LONDON, S.W.l.
20th June, 104S.
Dear Hay,
I am writing to confirm my recollection that you
would start considering v/ith the Political Ag^nt, Kuwait,
the problems that will arise over the administration of
the Kuwait-Seudi neutral 7 one as soon as either of the
American oil companies start operating there in earnest.
vie shall look forward to seeing yourviews id due course.
In conversation with Jackson and with Jordan of
the K.O.C. I also touched on the question of arrange
ments between the K.O.C. and ANINCO with regard to the
common or co-ordinated use of facilities in Kuwait and
possibly also with regard to labour problems. I under
stood from Jordan that there was already a certain
amount of contact with regard to communications and
that his attitude was that as K.O.C. were the party in
occupation, it was for AMINCO to accroach them if they
wished to do so on labour and other questions.
We shall be glad to know in due course whether you
feel that anything further is required in this direction.
We do not want to interfere unnecessarily in the compa
nies* operations, but there seems likely to be considerable
scope for consultation between them, particularly with
regard to labour problems and it may be that an occasional
word from us would help to facilitate this.
I am sending a co-py of this letter to the B.M.E.0.
Yours ever,
Sd/- B.A.Burrows.
Sir Rupert Hay, K.C.I.E. , C.S.I.,
BAHRAIN.
