In these circumstances it seems to me that we shall have
to try and find replacements for Captain Steele and Dr. Hynes
for a period of one year after the latter leave the Gulf.
I should be grateful for your views and suggestions on this
question, and in particular your suggestions as to the best
method of securing replacements if you agree that this is
necessary.
Before taking any action it will of course be necessary
to consult the Foreign Office.
