Provided, of course, that our indisputable national rights are respected
in accordance with the laws concerning the nationalization of the oil industry,
the government and the people of Iran are ready to enter into immediate discussions
with the aim to remove all the disputes so that there may be no stoppage in the
production and exploitation of oil -- a situation which the government of Iran has
always been anxious to avoid and which, as you have mentioned, Mr. President, is
causing losses to all concerned.
With reference to your desire, Mr. President, to help our country I must
state without hesitation that the Iranian nation and government fully appreciate
this high intent in all sincerity and candor, more so when they find that you have
shown your readiness, Mr. President, to send to Teheran as your Special Representative
Mr. Averell Harriman, one of the most distinguished American citizens, for
consultations.
In the light of our knowledge of Mr. Harriman's personality and his vast
experiences, and considering the fact that he will act as your representative, the
Iranian government welcoms this gesture and hopes to take full advantage of
consultations with a man of such high standing. In the meanwhile it would also
give him the opportunity to become directly acquainted with our views and to obtain
first hand knowledge of our living conditions and requirements.
May I avail myself of this opportunity to offer you, Mr. President,
the expressions of my best and most sincere regards.
