I forward herewith a copy of a letLer received
from Jackson containing information of the activities
of the Ametlcan Independent Oil Go., in the Neutral
Zone. Galloway’s telegram to which reference is made
was repeated to you and Jedda in ray telegram 130 of
the 25th March.

2. I have not yet received instructions on my des
patch No. 173 of the 30th December, 1948, in which I
made certain proposals about the delimitation of the
frontier in the vicinity of Gurain, c.f. Jedda des
patch 81 of the 21st April. Although the oil companies h,
do'not appear to be pressing for this delimitation
as my despatch shows the Sheikh is anxious that the matter
should be decided at an early date and I would suggest
that action should not be postponed on account of
negotations over boundaries elsewhere.
3. I have asked Jackson for his views about the
future administration of the Neutral Zone and v^hen I
recieve them will forward them with my own.
4. I am sending copies of this letter to Scott-Fox
and Jackson.
