Abstract
Replacing an 1833 treaty the last remaining treaty granting the United States extraterritorial rights on 28 April 1959 the United States Senate ratified a new Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights, Friendship and Commerce with the ruler of the largest Persian Gulf State, the Sultan of Muscat and Oman and Dependencies. Washington had been eager to conclude the new agreement because American business interests were involved in the search for oil in the Persian Gulf.1 Treatymaking with Muscat-Oman depended on the will of one individual, Sultan Said bin Taimour.
