ABSTRACT

Symposium of the Petroleum Information Committee of the governments of the seven Arab Gulf States and the Japan Co-operation Centre for the Middle East.

At the outset, I would like to apologise to you for not distributing the text of my remarks beforehand. Because I was involved until late last night in a conference which our Institute sponsored, I did not have enough time to have it ready; I shall do my best to have it distributed at a later date. Please accept my sincere apologies.
