Dear Sir Bernard,
We find that on page 137 (paragraph 14) of the
"Historical Summary of the Events in the Persian Gulf
Sheikhdoms and the Sultanate of r.useat and Oman, 1928-1953",
forwarded to you under ewer of Foreign Office coiapliments
slip 3A 1672/2. of March 8, it is stated that no nationality
law has bocn issued by the Ruler of Qatar, It appears that
at the time the Historical Summary was compiled, the
Nationality Regulations issued by the Rulor of Qatar on
April 10, 1951 v/cre overlooked,
2, The first sentence of paragraph 74 on page 137 of
the Summary should therefore be amended to rcad:-

"74* A nationality lav; was issued by the Ruler in
1951 (Appe n d ix I).11
— We enclose the Regulations, printed a3 Appendix I* for
insertion in Volume 2 of the Summary as pages 272(a) ana ^ '*
Appendix I should also be added to the lists of Appendic
on page (IX) of Volume 1 and page 208 (Appendices to
Chapter 4) of Volume 2,
Yours sincerely,
