In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Khamene'i, the Honorable President of the Islamic Republic of Iran- may his graces last,
In view of the fact that after acquiring ten years of actual and practical experience in administering the country, most of the officials, workers and experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran are of the opinion that the Constitution has some defects and flaws. Notwithstanding its very good and enduring strong points, some aspects have been given less attention as the constitution was drafted aimed burning atmosphere in the early days of the victory of the revolution. Lack of precise understanding of the intricacies of administering the society also had a role in this inattention. Fortunately, however, the issue of amending the Constitution after one or two years has also become the subject of discussion in various meetings. Removing the faults is an inevitable necessity in the Islamic society and revolution. So Delay in this attempt led to emergence of bitter shortcomings and consequences for the country and revolution. Based on my religious responsibility, since long I have been contemplating to correct the oversights, but the war and other issues hindered me to do so.
By the help of God Almighty and the benevolent prayer of the Imam of the Time (may my soul be his ransom), the Islamic system established in Iran is now treading its path of reconstruction, advancement and progress in all dimensions. Accordingly, I appointed a commission to address the question. After making the necessary revision in the cases cited, ratification will be done in a general referendum by the noble people of Iran.
a. I have considered the following for this significant task: (a) Mr. Mishkini, (b) Mr. Tahiri Khorramabadi, (c) Mr. Mu'min, (d) Mr. Hashimi Rafsanjani, (e) Mr. Amini, (f) Mr. Khamene'i, (g) Mr. Mousawi (Prime Minister), (h) Mr. Hasan Habibi, (i) Mr. Mousawi Ardebili, (j) Mr. Mousawi Khou'ini, (k) Mr. Muhammadi Gilani, (l) Mr. Khaz`ali, (m) Mr. Yazdi, (n) Mr. Imami Kashani, (o) Mr. Jannati, (p) Mr. Mahdawi-Kani, (q) Mr. Azeri - Qummi, (r) Mr. Tawassuli, (s) Mr. Karroubi, «1» and (t) Mr. `Abdullah Nouri. These honorable gentlemen are from among the Assembly of Experts, Legislative, Executive, Judiciary, Expediency Council and others, as well as fifty representatives of the Islamic Consultative Assembly chosen by the Majlis.
b. The subjects to be treated consist of: (1) leadership, (2) centralization in the management of the Executive Power, (3) centralization in the management of the Judiciary, (4) centralization in the management of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting( IRIB )in such a way that the three branches of government have supervisory power over it, (5) number of representatives in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, (6) Expediency Council for resolving intricate problems of the system and the leadership counsel in such a way that they are not within the scope of any of the branches, (7) Way of reviewing the Constitution, and (8) Changing the name of the" National Consultative Assembly" into" Islamic Consultative Assembly".
c. Timetable for this task is two months at most
I pray to God, the Exalted for the success of the honorable gentlemen. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
