Dear Hallows,
We have considered your letter (Ext 2294/47) of
the 27th October to Fisher regarding staffs at
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
posts in consultation with the people
in Communications and Security Departments.
i
As you know our regulations regarding the handling
of cyphers and other secret material are pretty
strict and it seems in the last degree unlikely
that we should be able to agree to the retention
of Anglo-Indian clerks on work of the type of
that on which they have hitherto engaged.
While we .appreciate your point about the
difficulties of the climate for European staffs
our view is that we shall have to insist upon
confidential work being done by established
Foreign Service officers as in all other areas.
The number should, after all, be very small.
We shall doubtless wish to use some of the
existing staff but v/e shall, in the circumstances,
have to take the risk of losing those who v/ill feel
that they are losing face if they have to be employed
on duties less responsible than those they have
hitherto performed.
Yours sincer
R. I.Hallows,Esq. ,
