Thank you for your letter 1/22/61 of December 28
enclosing a copy of the Grundy Report, of which we had
received an advance, photostat copy in June. (Arabian
Department's Compliment's slip No. BT 1421/7 of June 1,
enclosing Booth's letter 17627 of May 15 to Lyre which
was copied to Dubai).

2. As you will have seen from subsequent correspondence,
we hope to get Griffith's comments on the report, although
he was warned (my letter 1425 of September 11) that H.M.G.
would not have funds to pay for any follow-up work at Ras
al Khaimah.

3. Now that the CENTO meetings are over, I hope Griffith
may be able to devote some time to the Trucial States
problems, and he may wish to do this in conjunction with
Paul Howell's projected visit.

4. I am copying this letter to Lamb in Arabian Department
and Griffith at Beirut.

(J.P. Tripp)
