5. I AM MOST ANXIOUS TO ROUND OFF THE U.K POWER STATION CONTRACT WITH A U.K TRANSMISSION CONTRACT, AND SINCE THE PRIME MINISTER MADE A POINT OF ASKING KADOORIE TO SEE HIM IF ANY TROUBLE AROSE, I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ALL CONCERNED IF ARRANGEMENTS FOR. A MEETING WERE MADE. IN ANY CASE I THINK THE P.M WOULD WANT TO

KNOW OF KADOORIE'S CONCERN.

6. THIS TELEGRAM IS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE ADVISED KADOORIE

TO TRY TO SEE THE P.M., AND TO ASK YOU TO TAKE WHATEVER STEPS YOU THINK NECESSARY TO SEE THAT HE DOES. I DO NOT THINK IT NEED TAKE MORE THAN TWENTY MINUTES OF THE P.M'S TIME. INCIDENTALLY ALAN WILLIAMS (A RECENT VISITOR) HAS PROMISED TO HELP OVER THIS.
