Your telegram No. 9,
Following personal from His Majesty's Minister,
^ Jeddac telegram No. 1 was sent during my absence
in Riyadh. I regret 1 do not feel that I can entirely
endorse it.
2. Ibn Baud's visit to oil fields, of which exact
dates are not yet established to my knowledge, is in
the nature of a formal visit on the invitation of
iiramco and [gp. undec. ? serves] to open the company’s
new guest-accommodation, Elaborate reception programme
has been drawn up and my United States colleague is
attending with a galaxy of Attaches from Cairo Embassy,
3. I consider that coincidental visit by official
British Element otherwise than by invitation of the
Oil Company might look like butting in on a strictly
American occasion and I should prefer that, if you
consider visit appropriate in these circumstances you
should first raise the matter direct with Aramco as
hosts.
4. Otherwise of course there is no sort of
objection from the Jedda : Legation angle.
