SUGGESTED LETTER Your Majesty: I was very pleased to receive your letter of November 15 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 Four 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 as President of the United States, I have always been particularly con- scious of the needs of these countries, including Iran. It was with this in mind, of course, that the Point Four program was initiated, and I have every hope that the incoming administration will continue this type of aid to deserving nations such as yours. In closing, may I say that I shall always recall with pleasure the fact that I was able to become per- sonally acquainted with you during your visit to the United States in 1949. Sincerely yours, RECORDS SERVICE A is His Imperial Majesty SSYP Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Shahinshah of Iran.
