Americans in the Gulf: Estimates and Projections of the Influx of American Nationals into the Persian Gulf, 1975-1980.

Abstract

The number of Americans residing in the Persian Gulf littoral -- Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Oman -- is rapidly increasing, and so is the importance of that American overseas community in U.S. foreign policy. The size of that community is projected to 1980, and three tables are presented which differentiate government employees from private citizens, those working in DoD-related fields from those who are not, and principals of families from dependents for all eight countries. Data sources and data collection approaches are identified; respondents' key assumptions pertaining to the data are noted; and the likelihood of over- or understatement of the projections stemming from the approach used is appraised.
