This is to confirm what I said on the telephone
this morning about the visit of Mr. A Jacobsen, President
of the Ameranda Petroleum Corporation.
He said that his Corporation wanted to bid for
the Koweiti Rights in the Koweiti-Caudi Arabia Neu tral Con e.
He had ascertained that the State Department ha cl no objection
to the entry of his company into this field. The object of
his visit to London was to find out if had any objection
to his company bidding for the Koweiti Rights in the Neutral
Cone, and if the answer was that H.M.G. had no objection, to
find out if the Sheikh had imposed a time limit on the bidding
and if the grant of any concession was subject to the final
approval of H.M.G.
From the Foreign Office point of view there is
no objection to this company bidding for the Neutral Cone
concession^, and I understand from Donaldson, with whom
X discussed the question, that the India Office would not
wish to raise objections.
Y^e agreed, I think, that it would he best for-
Mr. Jacobsen to receive his answer frprr f yo ur Ministry**
4-^- y 0U will let me know who when I will
pass the message on to him. Alternatively you may care to
get into touch with him direct. He la staying at the
Dorchester Hotel, Room 8U2#
I enclose a pamohlet which he left with me.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Donaldson.
