2. I am aesired to forward herewith a provisional
tour programme for the Iraqi engineer's impending visit
to the major irrigation works in India. The programme
has been drawn up after consultation with the Provincial
G-overnments, and it will take the engineer about three
*
months to inspect all the irrigation works mentioned in it.
To this may be added a month for journeys from one Province
to the other. The tour will therefore last rougjily four
months. Should the engineer be unable to spend this
length of time in India, the programme could be modified
in consultation with the Provincial Governments when the
engineer reaches their headquarters. About ten days could,
for instance, be saved, if the engineer decides not to
visit the irrigation works in Bihar. The Government of
Bihar do not consider that the engineer is likely to gain
anything by visiting the small canals in that Province.
