With reference to the correspondence ending with
your demi-official letter No.P.Z*1002/39 f dated the 21st
February 1939, I am desired to say that the Grovernment of
India will be glad to afford facilities to a selected Iraqi
engineer for seeing najor irrigation works in India, on
the understanding that they will not be required to meet
any portion of the expenditure connected with the visit.
Provincial Governments have been consulted and they have
expressed their willingness to show the engineer some
irrigation works and to give him all necessary help. If
the visit is to take place we shall be grateful for prior
information regarding the date of arrival of the engineer
and the duration of his stay in India, so that a programme
may be drawn up for him in consultation with Provincial
Governments*
