Reference you r telegram No.9931, dated 3rd June
the Political Resident, Bushire. Radio telephonic communication
between Bahrain and Dhahran.
2. On August 14th, 1942, six American civilians attached to the
American Military Mission at Cairo arrived at Bahrain on a U.S. Army
Transport ‘plane from Basra, to inspect certain equipment belonging
to the California Arabian Standard Oil Company, with a view to buying
it for the American Army. They had sent no previous intimation ot
their coming and were apparently unaware that this equipment was no^
at Bahrain but on the Saudi Arabian mainland. As they had to leave
here the following day and ordinary methods of communication with
Dhahran would have involved considerable delay, I authorised the
Company to send the following message by R/T from Bahrain to Dhahran:-
wto Davis
R.P. Bayard, R.E. Bennett and Angus Ririe American civilians
attached to American Mission wish immediate clearance to go
Arabia to look at equipment according yesterday^ message. U>top;
Thev plan leave Bahrain by plane tomorrow morning. Advise by
special contact at 14.15 hrs. if clearance possible. (Stop; Am
holding A1 Rega to send them over. (Stop) Authorized
