Aramco World was at this time edited by T.O. Phillips, and issued monthly by Aramco's PR Department in New York. Phillips transformed what was a utilitarian in-house bulletin into a professionally produced magazine targeting a much wider audience, maintaining a strong focus on Saudi Arabia and the region. The cover story is on ancient Nineveh. This issue concludes a major article commenced in the January 1962 issue on Aramco's role in fostering and developing local talent in Saudi Arabia: "After years of shopping the world to supply its oil operations, Aramco is now passing on is purchasing experience to Saudi Arab businessmen and in a few years plans to buy 50 per cent of its supplies through local merchants". Other Saudi content includes Aramco's provision of scholarships to encourage Arab women into nursing; and the battle against desertification.

Other content covers Saladin and the Crusades, and George Washington. Photographers include Aramco's own B.H. Moody; Khalil Abou El-Nasr; V.K. Antony; T.F. Walters; C.E. Wilkins; and B.S. Bates. B.H.
