STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Bahrain Public Announcement
============================================================
Bahrain - Public Announcement
 April 24, 1995


U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman

For Immediate Release

As a result of a decrease in the number of civil disturbances and 
attacks on property in and around Manama, the U.S. Embassy in Manama 
issued the following announcement on April 15, 1995:

The number of disturbances continues to decrease.  The U.S. Embassy 
believes this decrease permits a return to prudent business and 
social activities, including activities on weekends and during 
evening hours.  Leisure travel to Bahrain no longer needs to be 
postponed, but the danger to foreigners has not ended.  The Embassy 
continues to strongly recommend that all Americans exercise the 
strictest caution while moving about the island.

If at all possible, do not enter those areas that have been the 
scene of demonstrations, such as the Villages of Bani Jamrah, 
Sanabis, Diraz, Janubiyya, Barbar, Karana, Karzakan, Jidhafs, and 
Sitra.  While driving, comply with traffic diversions and detours 
established by the traffic police.  Avoid large outdoor gatherings.  
Be aware of your surroundings.  Both men and women should continue 
to dress conservatively.

If you learn of any incidents involving an American citizen, 
contact the U.S. Embassy at 273-300.

This notice amends the Public Announcement of March 30, 1995, to 
delete the advisory to avoid social activities on weekends or 
evenings, and to remove the advice to defer non-essential leisure 
travel to Bahrain.
