December 6, , 1952
Your Majesty:
I was very pleased to receive your letter of
November fifteenth which you transmitted to me through
Ambassador Henderson. I am likewise requesting the
Ambassador to deliver this reply to you.
It was most gratifying to read of your high
opinion of our Point IV activities in Iran. I agree
wholeheartedly with your statement that aid of this type
is necessary for the progress and prosperity of nations
of the world.
During my term of office P.8 President of the
United States, I have always been particularly conacious
of the needs of these countries, including Iran. It was
with this in mind, of course, that the Point IV program
was initiated, and I have every hope that the incoming
administration will continue this type of aid to desery-
ing nations such as yours.
In closing, may I say that I shall always re-
call with pleasure the fact that I was able to become
personally acquainted with you during your visit to the
United States in 1949.
Very sincerely yours,
(Bgd) HARRY S. TRUMAN
His Imperial Majesty
Mohanmad Reza Shah Pahlavi,
Shahinshah of Iran.
