Rcfereneo Tehran telegram No. 1012 dated
29th December, repeated UKCOMs New Delhi and
Karachi as our telegrams No. 14 and 12 of
1st January. External Affairs Department
records.
Our understanding is that Indian and
Pakistan Governments have equal title to
pre-partition Government of India External
Affairs Department records and that Indian
Government are having copies made for Pakistan
Government. No doubt this is a slow process still
far from complete.
J. If this is correct, we see no reason why
f
copies of pre-partition External Affairs
Departmen£\records held here or by our
Diplomatic ^osts should not be made available
on request^ to Pakistan Government representatives.
4. We should be grateful for 1S& views.

We think kt-Wtter that they should not, repeat
not, say anything to the Governments of India
and Pakistan at this stage.
