especially with those, like the British nation, which have had
age-long relations with them.
With regard to the questions of dispossession and the settle-
ment of account with the former oil company which must be carried
out in accordance with the provisions of the law ratified by the two
Houses of Parliament, no doubt you will agree that as they are solely
affairs of an internal nature, the Government of Iran cannot enter
into negotiations with anyone but the representatives of the former
oil company.
The British Government can only show its concern if Iran, in
her dealings with the former oil company, steps beyond the limits
of right and justice in the enforcement of the law of the nationaliza-
tion of the oil industry, and you may rest assured, Mr. President,
that no such trespass will ever take place.
We shall always strive to protect our cordial relations with
the British Government and to remove according to law any anxiety
which that government may have in the matter of securing Iranian
oil for their requirements.
In this way there remains no cause for apprehension on the
part of the Government and people of Britain in their relations
with the Iranian Government and people.
I avail myself of this opportunity to offer to you, Mr. President,
the expressions of my highest and most sincere regards and to wish
the continuous progress and prosperity of the great American nation.
/s/ Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh
Prime Minister of Iran
C.S.
