The majority of the papers relate to the re-negotiation of oil royalties paid to the Ruler of Kuwait. Other papers cover British government's perspectives on the presence of American Oil Companies in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 378; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
