I spofce to Morris who aiswered that he
was »ot aware of aay disputed area but only that, the
frontier had not beea delimited. He poimted out that
i» aay case oaly ground survey work which could aot
ham KOG interest was being carried out. I asked
him to checK with Jordan who stated that he had been
instructed not to commit the Companjr in frontier
discussions and who therefore declined to discuss the matter.
2. It appears that Gurain hill was being
used es fixed point by AMINCO surveyors. Morris speaks
of a "monument” i.e. iron stake which he says was
erected by KOC in early days to delimit the extent of
their area in the Gurain region. This is perhaps
worth keeping in mind during consideration of frontier’s
alignment, and possibly might be checked in London.
It appears that he learnt the above when working for
KOC before the war.
3. The survey party is now working £&£
south of Gurain wells.
4. Morris presses for the delimitation of the
frontier.
