3. I think it 1s absolutely essential that
a Chief Local Representative should bo appointed
to reside in Qatar, and I also think that one should
he appointed for Abu Dhabi who should reside on the
Trucial Coast. I suggest thut tho Foreign Offico
bo asked to request tho Iraq Petroleum Company to
suggest names for both appointments. It would bo
bettor if wo were consulted unofficially and con­
fidentially before any appointments urc made.
Yours sincerely,
