Please refer to your letter BT
1531/20 of June 28 to Craig about the
definition of the Trucial States sea bed boundaries.

2. We shall be interested to see
the map which White draws and how he
deals with the islands of Abu Musa
and Sir Abu Nuair. We shall also be
most interested to see how he applies
the principles mentioned in paragraph 3
of your letter, as these of course have
a direct bearing on the Abu Dhabi/Qatar
sea-bed boundary.

3. I am copying this letter to Craig
at Dubai.
