Dear Hr. Harrison,
I have this morning received from Cable and Wireless
Limited, four copies of the Letter of Agreement concerning
radiotelephonic communication between Bahrein and Saudi Arabia.
I have signed all four copies on behalf of the two Oil Compan
ies concerned. I have handed back the top copy to Cable and
./ireless Ltd. this afternoon and hand to you herewith a signed
duplicate. Of the other two signed duplicates, one is going
to each of the Companies.
Upon your letting me know that all parties are in
accord with the Agreement, I will cable to Bahrein that they
can now use the radiotelephony installation there. You v/ill,
no doubt, in your reply, refer to the fact that you antici
pate there being no objection on the part of my two Companies
to the Political Authorities at Bahrein exercising their dis
cretion to authorise the transmission of third-party messages
in case of emergency (e.g. in the case of aircraft crashes and
so on) on the existing basis, and, for security reasons, since
messages will be liable to interception by interested third
parties, the added stipulation that no Government information
is passed over the radiotelephone link.
I am pleased to say that these stipulations would be
acceptable to the two Oil Companies so far "as they are respect
ively concerned.
