not be surprised that we cannot give any firm general guidance on this, but you might find useful the last two paragraphs of Sharkey's letter of 10 December, of which I enclose a copy.
Since the questions you raised are of relevance elsewhere in the Gulf, I am sending a copy of this letter and the enclosures to other Gulf posts.
