SECRET UK EYES B COS 1148/797 (Concluded) 3. I therefore suggest that, subject to your agreement, there would be little point in discussing this subject in Committee un 2 April and that the best way to proceed now is: a. For ACDS (Pol), in conjunction with other departments concerned and the FGO, to undertake an early review of the principles that should govern British military assistance to Oman for subsequent submission to Ministers in order to establish the policy of the new Administration. b. To signal CGS prior to his arrival in Oman on 5 April, with guidance on the present position with particular reference to the sale of Cymbeline. 4. I shall assume your agreement to these proposals, unless I hear to the contrary by telephone (Ext 6284) by 1500 hours, Monday 1 April 1974. 29 March 1974 W A HIGGINS Captain RN Acting Secretary Chiefs of Staff Committee SECRET UK EYES B
