that he has no knowledge of any particular difficulties
existing between the Kuwaiti and Iraqi authorities
concerning customs and passports and the Sheikh

suggest that, if you see no objection, they should
raise the matter to you officially and later it might
be discussed on a diplomatic basis between the Political

should not approach the Kuwait authorities direct.
